The red abalone is the world's largest abalone, a marine snail with a broad, oval, brick-red shell bearing a row of open respiratory holes and a spiral of low ridges, lined inside with iridescent mother-of-pearl. A muscular foot clamps it to rocky reefs of the eastern Pacific. The shell reaches about 12 inches. It clings to rocks in kelp forests.
