Die Kappiewulk (Nucella squamosa) is 'n ongewerwelde slak wat in die see voorkom aan die hele kuslyn van Suid-Afrika en word tot 3.5 cm groot. Die diertjie is 'n karnivoor en vreet mossels, klipmossels en eendmossels deur 'n gaatjie in hulle doppe te boor met 'n aangepaste snoet of buisvormige proboskis. Die slak het 'n dop met 'n skubberige voorkoms weens riwwe wat spiraalvormig oor die dop strek. Hulle leef in die lae strandgebied of benedegetysone.

Nucella squamosa, common name the scaly dogwhelk, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.[1]
The scaly dogwhelk is a small brown whelk with many fine knobbly spiral ridges on its shell. It grows up to 5 cm in total length. The ridges of the snail's shell are not often visible because the whelk is usually overgrown by the high-spined commensal hydroid, Hydtractinia altispina, which looks prickly and is orange.[2]
This marine snail is found off the southern African coast from central Namibia to Port St Johns, subtidally to 50m under water.[2]
The eggs are laid in small groups of capsules which resemble stalked clubs. The commensal hydroid deters several of the snail's predators.[2]
