Neritopsis [Neritopsis]

Description

Neritopsis is known for its unique, ridged shells, which can appear almost sculptural. These marine snails are less common and tend to inhabit specific niches within coral reefs and rocky substrates. They feed on algae and biofilms, contributing to the balance of their ecosystems by maintaining clean surfaces for other marine life.
