Runcinids [Runcinidae]

Description

Runcinidae, known as Runcinids, are a small family of marine gastropods that are distinguished by their flattened, leaf-like body shape and lack of an external shell. These animals are typically found in intertidal zones and shallow waters, where they graze on algae growing on rocks and other hard substrates. Runcinids are notable for their vibrant colors and patterns, which help them blend into their surroundings and avoid predation.
