About Epitonium jukesianum (Forbes, 1852)
Epitonium jukesianum (Forbes, 1852) is a species of very small parasitic sea snail. It is a marine gastropod mollusc that belongs to the family Epitoniidae, which are commonly called wentletraps. This species is found intertidally and in shallow water across southeastern Australia, the coasts of Tasmania, and the North Island of New Zealand. Epitonium jukesianum parasitises sea anemones, and is capable of reattaching to its host if it gets knocked off. It can live in high turbidity environments, but it is more commonly found in areas with moderate to low turbidity.
