Clea bangueyensis [1] is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Buccinidae, the true whelks, most of which are marine. [2] [3]
Like all snails in the clade Neogastropoda, this species is carnivorous. It feeds on different types of worms and gastropods. These predatory snails often attack and eat other, larger snails by burying themselves and then ambushing their prey. [3]
Clea bangueyensis consists of defined male and female genders, and are not capable of gender change. It is unknown as to how to sex these animals. Both male and female seem to be the same size and shape. When a male and female mate, they lock together for eight to twelve hours.

Clea are whelks, most of which live in the sea. Like their marine relatives, Clea are opportunistic carnivores that feed on both live prey and carrion. Among the prey taken are snails, and it is this that has made them popular with fishkeepers. Clea stay partially hidden under the sediment, and if a snail slides past, then quickly (by snail standards) jump into action, chasing their prey and eventually subduing it.
