Description

Caught by Filipino divers working illegally off Sabah. Source may dry up as enforcement officers are getting strict on illegals and the locals don’t want to dive for shells. Very nice thick mantle line and its straight unlike the usual “map” pattern where this species derives its name. Soft scar at the dorsum.
