Agaille

Agaille is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Cancellariidae. These snails are primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world's oceans.

Agaille snails are known for their distinctive shell shape, which is typically conical or trumpet-shaped. The shell is made up of several whorls, with the outermost whorl being the largest. The aperture of the shell, which is the opening of the shell, is generally narrow and smoothly rounded.

One of the unique characteristics of Agaille snails is the presence of a radula, a specialized tongue-like structure used for feeding. The radula of Agaille snails has small, pointed teeth that are used to scrape up food particles from the seafloor. This adaptation is likely related to the snails' diet, which typically consists of small invertebrates and plankton.

Agaille snails are found in a variety of aquatic environments, including coral reefs, rocky shores, and muddy or sandy patches on the seafloor. They are often found in areas with strong currents, which may help to disperse their shells and facilitate the exchange of genes among populations.

Although Agaille snails are of interest to malacologists and marine biologists, they remain relatively poorly understood. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the systematics, ecology, and behavior of these fascinating animals.
