The agate snail is a mollusk of the Gastropoda family of snails. The shell is oval in shape, with the spiral layer curling inward. The shell mouth is narrow and long, with fine teeth on the outer and inner lips, and a tongue shaped tongue. The outer membrane is thin, two leaf shaped, and the living body almost completely covers the shell. When the spiral part reaches adulthood, it almost disappears, and the adult has no operculum. Living in tropical and subtropical warm sea areas, it can be found from intertidal zones to deeper rocky reefs, coral reefs, or sandy bottoms. Mainly feeds on algae or coral animals. Due to its beautiful appearance, it is highly favored by shellfish collectors and has high ornamental and collectible value.
