| Name | Coralliophila costata - MOSNTER SIZE WOOOW!!!!!! |
| Size | 26.9 mm, w/o |
| Locality | La Calechosa, Jalisco, Mexico |
| Note | MONSTER RARE SIZE WOOOOOW!!! Giant ultra rare size for the species. For advancer CORALLIOPHILIDAE experts and lovers, absent in many collections. There is not much information about this rarity and usually the specimens are rarely seen alive. I found this one alive myself and it has the original, rarely seen operculum. This special specimen was found under a type of soft coral with green coloration and multiple polyps, when I removed some of this soft coral it was attached to the stone under the soft coral, I never imagined to find it completely covered and without any visibility that there would be a specimen there. Really hidden and impossible to find without removing this soft coral. A very mysterious question of how it lived inside this thick soft coral! The conditions are natural exactly as I found it, this unique complete and elegant specimen presents elevated ribs with micro scales rarely seen, the lip is really colossal and finely with multiple scales and undulated like wings. The most beautiful extended and shiny white aperture with seldom seen original operculum!! The shell is not a Gem, this species at this giant sizes are most with damage of erosion and drill micro holes around the spire. F++. Found attached under soft green coral inside the stones at extremely low tide about 1m deep. La Calechosa, Cuastecomates, Jalisco, Mexico. March 2025. Value for this RARE species with Giant ultra rare size: 38-45 euro. Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC |
