| Item | # 0003387912 | | Family | Muricidae | | Name | Homalocantha oxyacantha - LONG LIP SPINES WOOOW!! |
| Size | 45 mm, w/o |
| Locality | Barra de Navidad, Jalisco,Mexico |
| Note | Collecting them for many years, I learned that this species is always exposed to predators, erosion and corals. Causing the loss of their spines except for the first row because they are fresh. Very rarely are complete specimens of large size found. They are usually found at great depths where the water is dirty, muddy and in places very protected from the open sea. This one is from the open sea and has a good condition in the first row of spines, in the second row onwards some are present and others are absent, something normal for the size. This individual was the only one with better condition in this population. The siphons are intact, the spire is very well detailed, apex almost complete. Fresh colors, very thick lip and the most incredible thing about this one is the very elongated lip spines. For advancer collectors. Some imperfections here and there as usual for the species. F++. Found attached between stones with mud and mud about 9m deep. Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. January 2024. Value of this rare long spines and dark Brown color form: 46-50 euro Good luck!!
