Megastraea Undosa, known as a wave-turban snail or corrugated turban (English: Wavy Turban Snail or Wavy Turban), belongs to the family of the turbinidae (turban snails) and the sub-family turbininae. This snail reaches a size of up to 14.5 cm and is spread along the Pacific coast from California to Baja California in Mexico. Megastraea Undosa lives in flat, rocky coastal areas below the low water line, where it is protected from strong current. Her solid, often wavy structured housing makes it a striking representative of the turban snails.
