Description: Niveria suffusa (Gray, 1827) - apical view of a suffuse trivia snail shell. 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.
