| Item | # 0003838094 | | Family | Coralliophilidae | | Name | Coralliophila costata - ULTRA RARE PERFECTION!!! |
| Size | 15.4 mm, w/o |
| Locality | La Calechosa, Jalisco, Mexico. |
| Note | REFINED EXCEPTIONAL RARE MASTERPIECE WOOOOOW!! For 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, with impossible to get complete intact micro scales. 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 the soft coral! The conditions are natural exactly as I found it, this unique complete and elegant specimen presents multiple and dense micro elegant wide scales rarely seen, apex is complete, the lip is really colossal and finely with multiple scales. Seldom seen original operculum !!!! Gem-F+++. Even there is a microscopical erosion this should be a Museum piece for the species, ultra rare conditions. 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 the best Museum conditions you can get: 35-45 euro. Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC |
