Note
F+++. A classic C. bandanus with strong coloration set into two bands and a surprising white spiral band in the upper black band. The band cuts the tents in a spectacular way. This is a real hunter, occasionally seen sitting on top of the corals, in full sunshine and without shame. HYPOTYPE in the twin books: 1000 Shells, exceptionals from the Philippines.
Philippines. Bohol. 20 m. 2011.
