The size of the shell attains 28 mm.

Capulus simplex is a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Capulidae, characterized by its distinctive cap-like shell typical of the genus Capulus. The shell usually reaches up to 28 mm in length and features a smooth, conical shape with a rounded apex and a broad, flattened base. Its surface is glossy and pale, often showing subtle striations. The aperture is narrow and elongated, reflecting its adaptation to a sedentary lifestyle where it commonly attaches to hard substrates. This species is found in European waters and off the coast of West Africa, inhabiting depths that allow it to anchor securely to various surfaces.^[2][3]
