The shell has two black or grey spiral bands, with the upper half of the body whorl having two bands, and the lower half a single band. The shell is translucent with some white pigmentation.

Parapodia are present but the animals can withdraw completely into their shells and posses an operculum. Bullina vitrea are nocturnal and feed on polychaete worms.
