Latin Name: Terebratulina unguicula
Geographic Range: I don't have any range information for this animal.
SCUBA Divers Info:
Much smaller that the common brachiopod and without the "smiling" opening this brachiopod could be mistaken for very small scallops or something. It is found attached to rock walls and as you approach it you can see it move.
**B**Beachwalkers Info:
This animal does not inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling.
