Niveria pediculus (coffee-bean trivia snail) (San Salvador Island, Bahamas) 4 (15568828454)
Description:
Description: Niveria pediculus (Linnaeus, 1758) - umbilical view of a coffee-bean trivia snail shell, 1.35 cm tall. Family Triviidae - trivias generally have a cowry-like shell shape, with the shell’s spire covered as a result of sub-planispiral coiling. Unlike cowries, which have a smooth glossy adapertural shell surface, trivias have prominently ridged and grooved shell surfaces. Trivias prey on tunicates and some octocorals.
