| Item | # 0003211352 | | Family | Muricidae | | Name | Hexaplex ambiguus x radix - HYBRID ULTRA RARE!!!!! |
| Size | 112.4 mm, w/o |
| Locality | Playa Piratas, Jalisco, Mexico |
| Note | HYBRID ULTRA RARE!!!!! Searching for specimens with scientist Robert Iwamasa and some local divers in different localities in Jalisco, we find 2 species of Murichantus. They live together in many of the cases when the habitats are combined. Muricanthus radix is found in rocky beach areas where oysters develop, and Muricanthus ambiguus in rocky areas with mud and even close to where the corals end. Sometimes the habitats are combined and probably hybrids emerge when they meet. Here is perhaps a single example of the combination. Between Robust body, 9 rows of spines, spines absent near apex-spire, very broad, heavy and thick. In the case of M. ambiguus is more noticeable a long siphon on the ventral side, the distance between one row and the other, less robust and less heavy, combined with spines on the apex-spire and in most cases with longer spines. I learn a lot with Robert but still confuse this species and variations. For advancer collectors. Very heavy and robust thick specimen with thick sharp spines, a few micro pin holes around the spire almost hidden, the rest of the shells is in great conditions. Very black base and thick lip spines. Hybrid specimens are ultra rare, so difficult to find. For any MURICIDAE lovers!! F+++!!. Found attached between muddy stones with oysters about 5-6m deep. Playa Piratas, Jalisco, Mexico. January 2023. Value for ultra rare Hybrid. 150-200 euros. MEXICO PACIFIC. |
