Abapertural view of Clithon corona shell.

The freshwater crab Clibanarius fonticola uses shells of Clithon corona only.[3]

It is a part of ornamental pet trade for freshwater aquaria.[4]

gollark: It ties you to extra tooling for macronoforms.

gollark: And DO NOT mandate a VCS.

gollark: BEE YOU, requiring VCS hooks is bad.

gollark: I will literally fork Macron and implement "beeoids".
