Leptothyra
Description

Leptothyra is a genus comprising small, marine gastropods known for their compact, often brightly colored shells with distinct spiral ornamentation. Members of this genus are commonly found in intertidal to subtidal zones, predominantly clinging to rocky surfaces or coral reefs. They feed on algae and detritus, playing a role in the benthic ecosystem by contributing to the bioerosion of their substrates and serving as prey for a variety of marine predators.
