A family of small sea snails and bubble snails found in oceans worldwide, characterized by their thin shells.
From Latin 'bullae' meaning 'bubble' or 'blister', referring to the bubble-like shape of their shells. The scientific taxonomy naming system added the '-idae' family suffix.
Bubble snails can literally inflate themselves like balloons to escape predators—they're tiny creatures that live in the ocean and some can even go into a state like hibernation when stressed!
