SUMMARY
A species of predatory gastropods. Morula species feed mainly on barnacles, bivalves and limpets. Many drill holes in their prey using the radular teeth combined with acidic secretions from a special gland in the foot. They are often covered in epibiota and difficult to identify. Distinguished by the rows of white knobs on the shell.
