Habuprionovolva umbilicata (G. B. Sowerby II, 1849)
Ovulids are carnivorous molluscs that feed on polyps and tissues of Anthozoa (as do the genera Cyphoma and Pseudocyphoma). They live on, and eat, soft corals and sea fans, and they are usually regarded as ectoparasites of these sessile colonial organisms, to which they are anchored by a long and narrow foot.
Habuprionovolva umbilicata is a species marine gastropodin the family Ovulidae, the ovulids, cowry allies or false cowries.
Habuprionovolva umbilicata feeds on Dendronephthya soft corals.
