Heroidae is a family of sea slugs, nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Nudipleura. There are no subfamilies in Heroidae. [2] Hero is the only genus in this monotypic family. [1]
Enchytraeidae is a family of microdrile oligochaetes. They resemble small earthworms and include both terrestrial species known as potworms that live in highly organic terrestrial environments, as well as some that are marine. The peculiar genus Mesenchytraeus is known as "ice worms", as they spend the majority of their lives within glaciers, only rising to the surface at certain points in the summer. Enchytraeidae also includes the Grindal Worm, which is commercially bred as aquarium fish food.
Tegula is a genus of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Tegulidae.
Atlanta is a genus of pelagic marine gastropod molluscs in the family Atlantidae. They are sometimes called heteropods.
Batillaria is a genus of small salt marsh or mudflat snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Batillariidae, the horn snails.
The Vermetidae, the worm snails or worm shells, are a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha. The shells of species in the family Vermetidae are extremely irregular, and do not resemble the average snail shell, hence the common name "worm shells" or "worm snails".
Hipponicidae, common name hoof shells or hoof snails, is a family of small sea snails, limpet-like marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Vanikoroidea.
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.
Pendromidae is a family of gastropods in the clade Vetigastropoda.
Liotiidae is a family of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Vetigastropoda.
Crepidula, commonly known as the slipper snails, slipper limpets, or slipper shells, is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Calyptraeidae. This family includes the slipper snails (Crepidula), hat snails (Calyptraea), spiny slipper snails (Bostrycapulus), and cup-and-saucer snails (Crucibulum) as well as Crepipatella, Siphopatella, Grandicrepidula, and Maoricrypta.
Cylichnidae, common name the "chalice bubble snails" or "canoe bubble snails" is a family of sea snails or bubble snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cylichnoidea.
Velutinidae is a family of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha.
Pyramidella is a genus of minute to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusk in the subfamily Pyramidellinae of the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.
Polinices flemingianus is a species of predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Naticidae, the moon snails.
Bufonaria cavitensis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Bursidae, the frog shells.
Bursa tuberosissima, common name : the yellow mouthed frog shell, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Bursidae, the frog shells.
Bursina nobilis, common name the noble frog shell, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Bursidae, the frog shells.
Cardiapoda richardi is a species of sea gastropod, a holoplanktonic marine gastropod mollusk in the family Carinariidae.
Goniodoris barroisi is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniodorididae.
Ringicula blanchardi is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Ringiculidae.
