Micromelo guamensis, common name the Guam paper bubble, is a species of sea snail, a bubble snail, a marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusc in the family Aplustridae.
This species has a white shell with black to brownish wavy longitudinal bands. It may in fact be the same species as Micromelo undatus , but it has traditionally been considered to be an Indo-West Pacific species. The shell is too small to hold the whole body, which has a green mantle with white spots and yellowish margins. The length is 10 to 12 mm.
This species is found in shallow water, crawling on algae-covered rocks.
This species occurs in South Africa, Japan, and the west coast of Australia.
