Its coloration is unique, with rare shades of gray and black on its spines. The white background is very visible and mixed with thick bands of black-gray and dark brown. The spines are really sharp and branched most, the shoulder spines are really branches and unique, the lip spines are great large and with exceptional top conditions. Superb spines , intact apex, lip and siphon. Some pin holes around the spire as usual for this sizes not really detracting this beauty. The rest of the shell is in top conditions. F++++-F++. Do not miss this unique opportunity to get this real top spiny masterpiece specimen, very selected from many dives and very difficult to clean them to reach this results, hours cleaning with ultrasonic scaler.
