Donkey's Ear Abalone

Haliotis asinina

Group: Other
Typical depth: 0–10 m
Max size: 12 cm
IUCN status: LC

An abalone of intertidal reefs and coral, its oversized green mantle wraps almost entirely over the shell, leaving it clean and free of the growths that coat its relatives. Very active at night and heavily collected across Southeast Asia for its shell and large body, it is still listed as of least concern.

Taxonomy: Animalia › Mollusca › Gastropoda › Lepetellida › Haliotidae › Haliotis
