Gibbula turbinoides is a marine gastropod mollusk belonging to the family Trochidae, commonly known as top snails. This species is a part of the diverse marine fauna found in the waters of the Comunidad Valenciana.

The main characteristics of Gibbula turbinoides include:

• Shell Appearance: The shell of Gibbula turbinoides is turbinated, meaning it has a rounded conical shape resembling a top. The shell is robust and typically measures between 10 to 15 millimeters in height.
• Color and Pattern: The coloration of the shell can vary but often displays hues of brown, green, or red, sometimes with intricate patterns or bands that make them blend with their surroundings.
• Habitat: This mollusk is usually found in shallow waters, often residing on rocky substrates or under stones. It is adapted to intertidal zones where it can forage for algae, which is its primary food source.
• Distribution: Gibbula turbinoides is commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea, including along the coastlines of the Comunidad Valenciana, where it contributes to the marine biodiversity.

This species is not only a fascinating subject for marine enthusiasts but also plays a role in the local ecosystems by participating in the algae control on rocky shores.
