Zoila stricklandi Rarely Offered !!!
38.0 mm     Muiron Islands     810,00 €
Item# 0003978009
FamilyCypraeidae
NameZoila stricklandi - Rarely Offered !!! , Lorenz, 2015
Size38.0 mm
LocalityMuiron Islands
NoteIn May 2025, while re-visiting the area where stricklandi live we were extremely disappointed to find that the area has been decimated by the hot water event that has settled on the area for the past five months. Most of the food sponges are dead and even the gorgonian fan corals have been fried and are charred stumps. We have found a very limited number of surviving stricklandi.  For this reason we are raising the price on the limited number of specimens on hand. We hope the species will survive but will not know for some years. We intend to leave them alone hopefully to recover. Thank global warming. A classic stricklandi ROV collected from a sponge in 82 metres of water west of the Muiron Islands off Exmouth Gulf. Attractive shell with a cream dorsum covered in tan speckles, burnt orange base and apricot sides with brown spots. New Zoila discovered by ROV in 2014. Graded Fine++ due to three silt inclusions to the dorsum and growth fold.
