| Item | # 0003291877 | | Family | Strombidae | | Name | Terestrombus terebellatus terebellatus , G. B. Sowerby II, 1842 |
| Size | See description mm |
| Locality | Philippines |
| Note | Fantastic Terebellatus collection. It takes years to put one together. Virtually impossible. Unique opportunity to obtain such beauties.
The typical terebellatus, the nominate subspecies, in contrast to the Indian Ocean afrobellatus. True terebellatus as found in the Philippines live a little deeper than the shore proper. They love to graze on green algae between 10 and 15 m deep, although they are also found deeper. In contrast with most Strombus from the Philippines, they are never found in big quantities. When the diver comes up with 3 pieces, it is a lucky day. We distinguish 3 color forms that deserve separate names: plain warm brown with little or no pattern - classic brown speckled with a few sparse darker blotches - and finally almost plain brown without speckles and with dark well shown blotches. Only the speckled form is common, both other forms are rare.
