Marine gastropods of the family Naticidae are worldwide distributed and known for their unusual predatory habits. Due to their wide distribution, the naticids are worldwide studied and known like predators of intertidal bivalves. The present study demonstrates the predation of the naticid gastropod Natica marochiensis on the bivalve Donax striatus in the northeastern region of Brazil.
