Cumia reticulata,[1] common name the false triton, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Colubrariidae.
Colubraria reticulata are commonly found in rocky and coral environments that are tropical or subtropical and temperate seas.
[2] They are found in the benthic zone, which is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water.
[2] Their proboscis can stretch 3 times its body length and allows them to bypass many fishes defenses to blood sucking.
Colubraria reticulata secretes chemicals that disrupts the process of blood clotting and wound healing.
Common anesthetics from protein families ShK, Turripeptide, ADA, and CAP-ShK were found to be present during hematophagy.
