it is neutral it has a pH of 7
No, rather the opposite, it is slightly basic.
Yes, sea shells are made mostly of calcium carbonate, which will react with hydrochloride acid to produce water, carbon dioxide, and calcium chloride. CaCO3 + 2HCl --> H2O + CO2 + CaCl2
Never add water to acid. Think "rootbeer" A&W. Acid into Water.
it is still acid but weaker because the water-acid base ratio grows depending on how much water or acid base there is You need water to make acid (e.g. Hydrogen Chloride itself is not acid, it is an acid base, but when dissolved in water it is a very strong acid)

hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, tomatoes, rain water, pure water, sea water, ammonium chloride, and sodium hydroxide
Sea water, Sulphuric Acid 95%onc., Phosgene, Phenol, & Milk.
Sea water is in fact basic. This results from the various salts dissolved in the water. Although one would expect sea water to be acidic (carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in water to form carbonic acid), limestone deposits help to keep the ocean basic.
