Septaria [Septaria]
Description
Septaria are characterized by their elongated, cylindrical shells, which are often brown or greenish in color, providing camouflage among rocks and submerged vegetation. They are primarily found in freshwater and brackish environments but can also adapt to marine conditions. These snails play a crucial role in scraping algae from surfaces, contributing to ecosystem health.
