Info

Divers have to look quite closely to spot this very small shell snail.
It is found on sandy bottoms between coral patches and sand with seagrass.

Some specimens are colonized by solitary corals .
The position of the corals on the back of the shells may indicate that the snails were colonized by the
corals during their lifetime.

Rhinoclavis kochi is a herbivore of detritus.
