Description

Self-collected 1m of water around coral reef, 2014. Just some natural micro nicks at the lip which I think is natural as I took great care while collecting and cleaning. The operculum is the exact one for this specimen and I did the cleaning by freezing it and removing the flesh and only with bleaching. You can compare the gloss from commercial specimens.
