Enteroxenos is a genus of very small parasitic sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eulimidae.
==Description== These small snails have no mouth or gut, and absorb nutrients through their body wall. These odd animals look much more like worms than snails, but the larval form is a veliger, which is characteristic of mollusks.
