This particular species is always found attached to large stones and apparently feeds more at night. Devourer of marine worms! The body is generally always accompanied and attached by many types of calcareous organisms and algae making them invisible in many cases. You need to have a very good eye to find them, and they are rare. Very rarely do you find good specimens with impressive conditions like this. Really hard to clean taking hours to get this result. The pictures taken are real and we do our best to make the color look exactly like the original. All colors are fresh in my shells as I collect everything myself and clean it before the auction. Some colors such as the orange color in the aperture may fade over time. But usually the color stays the same for months or years. Found attached between muddy stones about 7m deep. Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. March 2026. Value for the strongest deep Orange ventral color and pinkish dorsal coloration: 120-150 euros. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC
