Description

Caught by fishing nets, 15 to 25 meters Jan 2012. Size 51.7mm fussy dorsum that was split by a growth defect which I find interesting the distruption of the pattern due to maybe a mantle problem during growth of the snail. 55.1mm specimen with a beautiful shape, colour and clear pattern and almost gem only a couple of negligible water marks. 52.4mm specimen almost niger.
