Eulimidae is a
family of very small
parasitic
sea snails ,
marine
gastropod
mollusks in the superfamily
Vanikoroidea .
[1]
Eulima algoensis
Melanella martinii
Niso hizenensis
These small parasitic snails live on (or in some cases in) the bodies of
echinoderms such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, sea stars, etc. All species lack a
radula , in most cases possessing a
proboscis which they extend into their host's
body cavity in order to feed.
