The Robust Lancetooth (Haplotrema vancouverense) is a very common West Coast snail, often found in forests.

A member of the predatory Haplotrematidae family, it could be considered a beneficial snail if found in a garden setting because it would prey on other snail and slug pests.

Its shell color ranges from a greenish to an orangish color and assums a flat rather than domed shape.
