Description

Smaragdia snails are small, with vividly colored shells that can range from emerald green to bright yellow, often with metallic reflections. They inhabit marine environments, particularly seagrass beds, where they feed on the algae and detritus found on the seagrass. Their bright colors and small size make them a unique component of their ecosystems.
