Description
This species has a white shell with black to brownish wavy longitudinal bands. It may in fact be the same species as Micromelo undatus, but it has traditionally been considered to be an Indo-West Pacific species. The shell is too small to hold the whole body, which has a green mantle with white spots and yellowish margins. The length is 10 to 12 mm.
Habitat
This species is found in shallow water, crawling on algae-covered rocks.
Distribution
This species occurs in South Africa, Japan, and the west coast of Australia.
