Septaria [Septaria]

Description

Septaria are characterized by their cylindrical shells, which are often brown or greenish, with long, narrow openings. These snails are found clinging to rocks in marine and brackish environments, where they feed on the biofilm and algae present on the surfaces. Their presence indicates healthy ecosystems with abundant microalgal growth.
