Data for predation of two snail species (Cerithideopis californica and Cerithideopsis montagnei) by a species of whelk (Thais kiosquiformis) at different levels of potential escape structure. Three types of cage treatments were used which varied the amount of structure.

Trunk: cages included mangrove trunks.
Trunk_Pneum: cages included both mangrove trunks and pneumatophore roots.
Unstructured: cages did not include mangrove trunks or pneumatophore roots.
