| Item | # 0003698491 | | Family | Coralliophilidae | | Name | Coralliophila costata - WONDERFUL RARITY!!!!!!!! |
| Size | 21.8 mm, w/o |
| Locality | La Calechosa, Jalisco, Mexico. |
| Note | For CORALLIOPHILIDAE experts and lovers, absent in many collections. There is not much information about this rarity and usually the specimens are small and rarely seen alive. I found this one alive myself and it has the original, rarely seen operculum, with a great large size. Impressive 21.8mm . This special specimen was found under a type of soft coral with green coloration and multiple polyps, when I removed some of this coral it was attached to the stone under the 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 the coral! The conditions are natural exactly as I found it, this unique large specimen presents multiple axial varices with a massive and huge spire and coming with natural erosion as usual, the eroded apex is complete, the lip is really colossal and very thick with a bright and extremely large aperture. The siphon canal very open and extended with a unique elegance , the original operculum !!!! F++-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 seldom seen species with the best conditions you can get : 30-35 euro. Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC |
