A very handsome shell, and quite noticeable. I wonder if the snail is untasty?

Good question!
Though I suppose it wouldn't be half so noticeable if it were on plants, alive or dead, rather than on rock.

That's true—perhaps it favours something greenish-yellow. In fairness, it does seem to be approaching a plant that might be the right colour.
