These snails eat dead plant and animal matter and various other detritus. Because Physella acuta forages mainly on epiphytic vegetation and on the macrophytes, whereas other gastropods (Planorbis planorbis, Radix ovata) exploit the algal cover or phytobentos on the bottom, competition between Physella acuta and other gastropods appears to be ...
A tubular worm snail has been newly discovered in the Florida Reef. The bright yellow snail is named after “Margaritaville,” a song by the late Jimmy Buffett.
The transitional zone, where these gastropods were found, is about 1–2 m (3–7 ft) in width, with temperature of 2–10 °C. [32] The preferred water temperature for this species is about 5 °C. [33] These snails live in an environment which has high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, and low concentrations of oxygen. [33]
