I have discovered snail trails eaten into a degraded concrete pathway around a millimetre or so deep. I can only presume that by doing this, they aquire calcium for their shell.

Snails are invertebrates and have no interior skeletal structure. The snail's outer skin layer, the section called the "mantle" secretes calcium carbonate from which the snail's shell takes form and grows with the snail.

No corals have a protective outer shell like a snail or clam, they actually have an inner skeleton, or endoskeleton. It is almost always composed of CaCO2, in English that's calcium carbonate. Snail and clam shells on the other hand are made of calcite or calcium carbonate mixed with calcium phosphate.
