Silver-mouth Turbans [Lunella]
Description
Lunella is a genus of marine snails known as silver-mouth turbans due to the silvery sheen inside their shell's aperture. They are commonly found in the intertidal zones of Indo-Pacific coasts, where they feed on algae. The external shell is often brownish with patterns, providing camouflage among rocks and corals.
