Rapaninae purpura presica Monster size! Wrs!
123,50 mm     Marquisas     570,00 €
Item# 0004038503
FamilyMuricidae
NameRapaninae purpura presica - Monster size! Wrs! , Linnaeus, 1758
Size123,50 mm
LocalityMarquisas
NoteAn outstanding GIANT specimen. The current record is 118.95 mm, but this specimen is even bigger! It measures 123.50 mm by 94 mm wide. I'm including a dwarf specimen measuring 47.52 mm for comparison. Grade F+++ (one chip near the mouth at the front). It's still in excellent condition considering its habitat on the cliffs of the Marquesas Islands, which are very rough due to powerful waves. Definitely a monster for its size! For customers residing in the USA, parcel delivery services are temporarily suspended from New Caledonia. I will be able to send your parcel from Australia starting March 25, 2026, during my next trip there.
