They were, however, more common on many of our mainland coasts in the past. They are common on fine sandy bottoms elsewhere.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e0.8-1cm.

The body is pale and speckled, and the mantle is fringed with long tentacles. A foot-long, leaf-like plant. Tiny eyes on long stalks, beautifully banded tentacles, and two tubular syphons, one with fringes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThe snail's large mobile foot allows it to burrow quickly into moist loose fine sand (the snail does not perform well in compact dry sand). The sleek shell allows them to burrow quickly. To avoid predators, button snails execute a short, spiraling leap and then burrow back into the sand. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eOn damp sand, you might find tiny paths made by panicked button snails, interrupted by small holes where they vanished into the sand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eSubmerged button snails may sometimes spring up and float on the water's surface when disturbed, occasionally forming 'rafts' of several snails.
