Slow-moving creature in a shell (5)

I believe the answer is:

snail

(Other definitions for snail that I've seen before include "go very slowly" , "Slow slithery mollusc" , "Proverbially slow-moving mollusc" , "Soft-bodied garden animal with shell" , "Slow-moving creature" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
