Donating to the museum
In New Leaf
Upon donating the Turban Shell to the Museum, it can be found in the large pool in the first room of the sea exhibit, along with many other species of sea creatures. The exhibit has this to say about the Turban Shell:
"They are related to spiral shells. Also, they have lids that cover the openings of their shells. When they walk, they remove the lid and move in the shell by shuffling their feet, much like snails. They become active by night and eat seaweed. They are delicious when cooked in the shell."
In New Horizons
when donating to the museum Blathers will say the following:
The turban shell is a sea snail with a rather nifty trick up its sleeve...er, shell. you see, this snail carries a hard, round, button-like "operculum" with wherever it goes. what is an operculum, you ask? why, it is a trapdoor of sorts! when danger approaches, the snail slips into its shell and pulls this trapdoor closed over the opening. thus it is locked safe and sound inside. And bravo, I say! Bravo! When trouble comes knocking, just do what the turban shell does. Shut the door and turn out the lights!
