The “Kajiyama’s Harp” is a beautiful harp with yellow-orange ribs. Widely distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific, most specimens originate around Balut Island.

It is a carnivore living on sandy bottoms up to nearly ~200m deep. It can be distinguished from closely related Harpa harpa (L., 1758) by having smooth lower outer lip as opposed to digitated one. A very similar species, Harpa goodwini Rehder, 1993, is reported from Hawaii and is a rare endemic there – from Chong Chen’s post “Kogkhulion”
