Haminoea

  • Antilles Glassy-bubble Haminoea antillarum

    The shell is external, rounded, and marked only by faint growth lines. Its translucence reveals orange and dark-brown spots inside the body; the head has two visible eye spots and side extensions. It is herbivorous and is often found on red algae in turbulent areas; it is also common in the intertidal zone.

  • Elegant Glassy-bubble Haminoea elegans

    A thin, translucent shell sits beneath a wide, elongated body whose side flaps cover the front of the shell.

  • Haminoea miocaenica
  • Haminoea saucatsensis
  • Amber Glassy-bubble Haminoea succinea

    The shell is external, rounded, and translucent white. The elongated body has a short, broad head shield with two small side extensions; short side flaps do not cover the shell, and the rear of the foot is broad and rounded. It occurs on soft bottoms in sheltered places near mangrove roots.
