The shell is smooth, slightly shiny and pear-shaped, while the strong creeping foot and long siphon give it an active, questing appearance. This species is particularly popular because of its exotic pattern and interesting behavior.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"548\" data-end=\"585\"><strong data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"585\">Keeping in a marine aquarium<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"587\" data-end=\"976\">The Babylonia snail is a burrowing bottom dweller that prefers to live in fine sand. It is robust, peaceful and suitable for both mixed reef tanks and fish-only tanks. Its constant burrowing and burrowing loosens up the substrate and prevents localized fouling zones. The snail is mainly nocturnal, but also emerges during the day when food is available.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"978\" data-end=\"1033\">A sandy substrate is essential for this species.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1068\"><strong data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1068\">Care and nutrition<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1070\" data-end=\"1170\"><em data-start=\"1070\" data-end=\"1091\">Babylonia zeylanica<\/em> is an opportunistic carnivore and scavenger.
