A genus of small predatory sea snails that parasitically feed on echinoderms like starfish and sea urchins.
Likely derived from Greek eu- (well) or another root, though the exact etymology is uncertain; -ima is a common taxonomic suffix for mollusks.
Eulima snails are tiny vampires of the ocean—they use a long feeding tube to pierce echinoderms and suck out their fluids, living their whole lives attached to a single host!
