Turbo haynesi, common name Hayne's turban, is a species of sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turbinidae.^[1] This species is endemic to the Western Atlantic, particularly found in shallow reef environments from Florida to Brazil.^[2] Like many turbinids, Turbo haynesi plays an ecological role as a grazer, helping control algal growth on coral reefs.^[3]
