Common name: Triton's Trumpet Snails

Scientific name: Tritoniidae

Tritoniidae, commonly known as Triton's Trumpet Snails, are a family of soft-bodied, marine gastropod mollusks. They are known for their elongated bodies and often strikingly patterned mantles. Members of this family are not common in the reef aquarium trade, but they are of interest due to their specialized feeding habits, often preying on soft corals and sea pens, which makes them unsuitable for a typical reef tank. However, they can be fascinating subjects in a species-specific setup for advanced hobbyists who can cater to their dietary needs.
