Parasitic snail - Annulobalcis? sp.

This unusual Eulimid shell was seen crawling on a circular sea slug egg mass. The shell is parasitic on echinoderms, probably crinoids, so may have fallen off its host. The shell itself is clear, revealing the animal’s pattern beneath and is possibly an Annulobalcis species. 10mm
