Gibbula verdensis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails. [1]
The Gibbula verdensis is a living organism, of the Animalia Kingdom. It belongs to the phylum Mollusca, class Gastropoda, subclass Vetigastropoda, order Trochida, family Trochidae, subfamily Cantharidinae and genus Gibbula. [2] Dead Gibbula verdensis form shallow marine sediments. [3] They have sexual reproduction. [3] Their body symmetry is dextrally coiled. The shell reaches a height of 7 mm. Their locomotion relies on mucus mediated gliding, which refers to muscular waves propelling an animal over a mucus layer overlaying the substrate; in which alternating regions of muscular contraction and expansion create traveling waves that shear the mucus, resulting in translation of the animal. [3] The mineralized skeleton of the Gibbula verdensis contains calcium carbonate. [3] Their trophic guild (which is a group of species that exploit the same food resources, and/or use the same feeding or foraging methods) is deposit feeder, which refers to an organism that eats particulate organic material in or on sediments, [3] [4] and grazer, which refers to a consumer feeding on low growing organisms, eg: a herbivore that eats parts of low-growing grasses, forbs or algae.

This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off the Cape Verdes. [6] Some of the places where it has been spotted are Cabo Verde, Santo Antâo, Tarrafal de Monte Trigo, and weeds on rocks. [7] Their habitat is the marine benthic biome (benthic meaning 'bottom') encompasses the seafloor and includes such areas as shores, littoral or intertidal areas, marine coral reefs, and the deep seabed.
