"Semisulcospira libertina species complex" consist of four species: Semisulcospira libertina, Semisulcospira reiniana, Semisulcospira kurodai and Semisulcospira trachea.[6]
Ecology
Semisulcospira snails predate also on eggs of bluegill Lepomis macrochirus.[7]
Uses
A bowl of Korean take-out olgaengi (melanian snail) juk.
Semisulcospira snails are used in some forms of cuisine. In Korean cuisine, they are used to flavor a type of congee called juk, which is called olgaengi juk.
