Zoila stricklandi - Few Collected Now !!! , Lorenz, 2015
Size
40.6 mm
Locality
Murion Islands, WA
Note
In May 2025 we revisited the area where stricklandi live and were extremely disappointed to find that the area has been decimated by a hot water event that has settled on the area for the past five months. Most of the food sponges are dead and even the gorgonian fan corals have been fried and are charred stumps. We have found a very limited number of surviving stricklandi. For this reason we are raising the price on the limited number of specimens on hand. We hope the species will survive but will not know for some years. We intend to leave them alone hopefully to recover. Thank global warming. A classic stricklandi ROV collected from a sponge in 82 metres of water west of the Muiron Islands off Exmouth Gulf. An attractive shell with a cream dorsum covered in tan and brown speckles, separated by the mantle line. Burnt orange base and creamy apricot sides with brown spots. A new Zoila discovered by ROV in 2014. Graded Fine+++ as it has some silt grains in the dorsal nacre that are lost in the pattern.
