Verticordiidae is a family of benthic marine bivalves in the superorder Anomalodesmata. These clams range from 2 - 200 millimeters in length and are mainly found in coastal waters surrounding Australia and the Americas, though a few species within this family such as Haliris mediopacifica are found in the middle of the ocean. Verticordiidae is known for being a family of septibranchs, or predatory bivalves, rather than filter feeders. Clams dig vertical burrows in substrate and use papillae around the edges of their inhalant siphons to detect microscopic prey. Some clams in this family, specifically in the genus Trigonulina, have distinct extended circular formations on their shells.

Mangelia is a large genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mangeliidae.
Corbula is a genus of very small saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the family Corbulidae, the basket clams.
Niso is a genus of very small parasitic sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Eulimidae.
Abra is a genus of saltwater clams, marine bivalve mollusks in the family Semelidae. Members of this genus are mostly under 1.5 centimeters long, and have thin shells which are usually white. These bivalves normally live under the surface of sandy and muddy sediments, in the neritic zone.
Cerithiella is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Newtoniellidae.
Mathilda is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mathildidae.
