Munditiella
Description

Munditiella is a less commonly known genus within the family Hanleyidae, including minute, often overlooked marine gastropods. These snails have delicate, translucent, and smooth shells, making them challenging to observe in their natural habitats. They inhabit marine environments ranging from shallow waters to deeper zones, often found under rocks, within algae, or among coral rubble, where they feed on microscopic algae and detritus.
