Clea bockii is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Buccinidae, the true whelks, most of which are marine.

[2][3] Like all snails in the clade Neogastropoda, this species is carnivorous.

It feeds on different types of worms and gastropods, often eating other, larger snails after burying themselves and ambushing their prey.

When a male and female mate, they lock together for 8–12 hours.

It is a part of ornamental pet trade for freshwater aquaria.
