The specimen is rather depressed and exhibits rounded calloused margins with profound large densely distributed eye-popping spots extending over the lateral walls and margins while streaming over to the peripheral columellar base. An exceptional specimen with moderate rostration. The shell shows black pigmenting of the extremity tips, flawless siphons and dorsum. The cream colored base is thick and shows brilliant porcelain-like attributes. Collected in a low tide reef pool, near Broome, West Australia in 2012.
