Margarella whiteana is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Calliostomatidae, the top snails. [1]
This marine species occurs off the Antarctic Peninsula at depths between 3 m and 28 m.
The animal itself is a pale yellow in color. [1] It has two pairs of short cephalic tentacles with large black eyes on the posterior side of the tentacles. [1]
The shell is small, and wider than it is tall, at up to 7.6mm in height and 8.7 in diameter. The shell is covered in many spiral ribs, and lacks a periostracum. [1] The maximum recorded shell length is 8.7 mm. [2]
Minimum recorded depth is 3 m. [2] Maximum recorded depth is 28 m. [2]
Margarella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Margarellinae of the family Calliostomatidae.
Chrysomallon squamiferum, commonly known as the scaly-foot gastropod, scaly-foot snail, sea pangolin, or volcano snail is a species of deep-sea hydrothermal-vent snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Peltospiridae. This vent-endemic gastropod is known only from deep-sea hydrothermal vents in the Indian Ocean, where it has been found at depths of about 2,400–2,900 m (1.5–1.8 mi). C. squamiferum differs greatly from other deep-sea gastropods, even the closely related neomphalines. In 2019, it was declared endangered on the IUCN Red List, the first species to be listed as such due to risks from deep-sea mining of its vent habitat.
Japonactaeon punctostriatus, common names Adam's baby bubble and pitted baby-bubble, is a species of minute sea snail or "bubble snail", a marine gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Acteonidae, the "barrel bubble" snails.
Calliostoma bairdii, common name the Baird's top shell, is a species of sea snail with an operculum, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Calliostomatidae, the calliostoma top snails.

Onchidiopsis corys is a species of small sea snail with a transparent internal shell, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Velutinidae. Because the shell is mostly internal, the snail resembles a sea slug in general appearance.
Piliscus commodus is a species of small sea snail with a transparent internal shell, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Velutinidae. Because the shell is mostly internal, the snail resembles a sea slug in general appearance.
