The grape drupe specializes in eating vermetid snails (Dendropoma sp.). |
 |
|
|
Drupes are predatory snails, and are able to eat other mollusks by drilling through their shell. The genus name Morula is derived from the Latin word for Mulberry, owing to the berry-like appearance of this snail's shell. The species name uva is the Latin word for grape, probably referring to the grape-like purple color found on the inside of the shell. |
