Description

The length of the shell attains 4.1 mm, its diameter 2.02 mm. Volvarina aliceae is a tiny sea snail, not something most people would ever notice on a beach. It is a marine mollusk in the margin snail family, which means it has a small, smooth shell and lives in the ocean. As mentioned, this species is only about 4.1 millimeters long, so it is smaller than a grain of rice. It has been reported from waters off Guadeloupe in the Caribbean Sea. In simple terms, you can think of it as a miniature Caribbean sea snail known mostly to shell researchers and marine biologists.
