Turbo haynesi, common name Hayne's turban, is a species of sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turbinidae. This species is endemic to the Western Atlantic, particularly found in shallow reef environments from Florida to Brazil. Like many turbinids, Turbo haynesi plays an ecological role as a grazer, helping control algal growth on coral reefs.

Description

The shell grows to a length of 27 mm.

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Western Australia to Queensland, Australia and off New Caledonia.
