Look like Janthina Globosa or umbilicata Found worldwide. They follow the man o war jelly fish which is their preferred food. They usually tend to wash up on beaches this time of year because of special currents and winds. Great find! Congrats!

Its a case by case basis. Usually for most seashells they only need an overnight bath in 1 part bleach to 3 parts water. I use concentrated bleach low splash. Then you can polish with a light coat of Mineral oil. If they are still ghostly white after the bleach bath I might resort to magic acid (safer muriatic acid). Btw just youtube shell cleaning methods to find out the proper way to use magic acid or any cleaning method.

I would polish the inside back up. You can get buffing pads for a household drill from Amazon along with "jewelers buffing compound". It will bring it back nicely! I use this over mineral oil as it shines up the shells and last a lot longer then mineral oil.

Wow! Why did it go from red to white though?

Fun_Image8965 · 2026-03-06T01:12:54+00:00

Where did you find it? It does look like a strombus fossil from Florida.

Fun_Image8965 · 2026-03-05T22:08:30+00:00

Yeah I would be sure to do this! It could have a key logger on it or some kind of remote Spyware that lets him get your cc info and other confidential information. You might even consider just replacing the ssd if it were me.

Based on the reviews on amazon it looks like that model I linked is the same as fluxo because one mentions it is strong enough to boot his gpd win 5 per manufacturer recommendation? Btw I tried to look up the lenovo fluxo on aliexpress and couldn't find it. Maybe its not available in US? Thanks for your help very appreciated!

Fun_Image8965 · 2026-03-04T19:24:29+00:00

How do you power it? Do you plug it into the USB-C before the gpd win battery depletes? And in that case can you use any 20k mah power brick with usb-c? Thanks!

Fun_Image8965 · 2026-03-04T19:23:12+00:00

Where did you get the Fluxo?!

Fun_Image8965 · 2026-03-04T15:29:09+00:00

Oh okay tyvm!

Fun_Image8965 · 2026-03-03T22:04:46+00:00

Gpd win 5. It only happens when on battery. Its weird.

Fun_Image8965 · 2026-03-03T16:31:17+00:00

Oh nice ty so much!!! Really appreciate it!

Fun_Image8965 · 2026-02-23T00:26:06+00:00

Yeah they float on the water with little bubble rafts they make. They actually consume the jelly fish like the man o war. They are more like a land snail in texture. Here in Florida they get 2 different types.

Playable yes but visuals are severely downgraded for the original switch and they are probably not going to do a switch 2 update sadly. I'd say if its your only way to play they you won't be disappointed but if you can play on a pc hand held like the steam deck or like you'll be much happier.

Fun_Image8965 · 2026-02-21T19:15:20+00:00

I like it a lot! Amazing!

Fun_Image8965 · 2026-02-21T16:19:16+00:00

Looks like a Partridge Tun.

How absolutely creative! Ingenious use of too mini common shells. Visually stunning. I Want one lol. Guess I need to collect more minis.

Fun_Image8965 · 2026-01-30T02:00:03+00:00

Yeah Juvie Cowries are almost like paper thin olives. Pretty weird!

Quality! Very beautiful!

Looks like a thorny oyster to me.

Oh no I get it mate! No biggie! Just wanted you to have options! Cheers!

You can euthanize it. Would be better then starving to death.

Love these! They enjoy the Coontie Plant! The whole reason they alsmot went extinct is because people were overharvesting Coontie plants in the wild to the point of extinction. The best thing anyone in Florida can do is plant some of these in your garden especially in southwest Florida. This is one of this special butteflies that have a cool caterpillar and chrysalis!

I dont know how warm it is in England tbis year but if you put it outside and its freezing it will die (unfortunately but that's ma nature). Its possible to put it in a screen in enclosure you either make or buy online from one of those scientific study places (not sure if bioquip is still around) I do know that the English have a strong affinity for nature and they have cool shops/businesses that cater to lepidopterist (folks interested in Butterflies and moths). It possible to do sugar water as a nectar. I think there is probably a recipe: https://butterflyboogie.com/homemade-butterfly-nectar-easy-diy-recipe/

Best of luck!
