Bela nebula is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.[1] It is the type species of the genus Bela.

Taxonomy

Probably Bela nebula forms a complex, which Bela laevigata also belongs to (Ankel 1936, Van Aartsen et al. 1984) [3][4]

Description

The shell size varies between 5 mm and 14 mm.

Distribution

This species ioccurs in European waters off Belgium and the British Isles, in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean off Norway, in the Atlantic Ocean off Spain, Portugal, the Azores and Madeira and in the Mediterranean Sea

gollark: Yes, all is to be encoded as turing-complete move operations and page faults.

gollark: You want to make it so that you don't do too much work, regular users aren't inconvenienced much, and on the fence people will find it easier to get it officially than pirate.

gollark: Make a mildly irritating to get around but simple system which won't get in the way probably maybe?

gollark: Oh, and also having to contact you if you switch computers is ridiculously awful.

gollark: <@738361430763372703>, consider; even if the average user cannot thwart your copy protection, one palaiologistic user can deobfuscate it and just release a pirated version.
