Japanese abalone
(Haliofidae)
We can find this in the stone which rolled at the time of ebb tide and the back of the shelf of the rock. These 7-8 spiracles open and do not swell like a giant abalone. The movement in the water is quick. The length of the husk is approximately 7cm. We also say "NAGAREKO".
