Trochus pagodus Linnaeus, 1758 Tectarius pagodus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Littorinidae.
That family is commonly known as the winkles or periwinkles.
[1] This species is the largest member of the genus Tectarius, and (like the rest of the family Littorinidae) is an herbivor.
[2] This species is endemic to the Indo-Pacific.
[3] It can be found in the upper part of the intertidal zone along rocky shores, and therefore does not often get submerged.
