Umiushis [Aglajidae]

Description

Aglajidae, commonly referred to as Umiushis, are a family of shell-less marine gastropods known for their streamlined bodies and the ability to swim using lateral movements of their foot. They are predatory, feeding on other small marine invertebrates. These gastropods are found in a wide range of marine environments, from shallow reefs to deep-sea habitats. Their lack of a shell and highly developed sensory organs make them efficient hunters, capable of detecting and capturing prey with precision.
