Note

ULTRA RARE THICK DWARF SIZE WOOOOOW!! Once in a lifetime!! Throughout my entire career diving and looking for this species—which is so difficult to find in good condition—only two specimens of this small DWARF sizes have been found with this kind of thickness. Most likely, they are either well hidden, buried in mud or at great depths. This specimen was practically buried deep in mud and was accidently found looking for bivalves under the mud. It was really just a coincidence that I found this rare beauty. Every single detail you will admire is just intact with amazing structure, the varices are wonderful and incredibly thick as an adult, the body shape is short, robust and wide, the shell is really heavy and fat as adult. Spectacular black-brown shoulder band pattern combined with the hundreds of micro scales between everywhere. Elegant spines and multiple scales, impeccable thick lip with splendid spines, strong pink aperture with the classic posterior parietal black spot, the columellar lip is just elegant and intact. The shell structure is unique with granulate and scaled sculpture, really unique. The real DWARF, this beautiful shell doesn't looks like a juvenile, this here is the adult in really small size. The most dwarf I have ever seen. The shell has a natural repaired mini scar almost lost between the structure and pattern not really detracting the beauty. F+++. You are admiring the most spectacular small ultra rare size with elegant conditions. See pictures! Intact Apex. Do not miss this unique opportunity to get the real DWARF Muricanthus regius. For any MURICIDAE lovers of aesthetics and advancer collectors. Found buried in mud between muddy stones with oysters and chamas about 1m deep. Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. May 2026. Value for this ultra rare and the smallest DDWARF I have ever found with amazing conditions: 100-150 euros. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC
