Tremendous white color form with the best white dominant background color combined with a dark gray-brown spiral band and intact apex. The aperture shows a crazy Orange outline ring color between the white aperture and Yellowish original operculum. Fantastic conditions and special color. F+++.

A species very adaptable to all types of conditions from deep waters to populations at low tide exposed to the sun light. They usually like shallow and turbid waters rich in nutrients and in estuarine areas with mangroves or where oysters, mussels, Calyptraeidae species and chamas are abundant, which is their main food, they are sea scavenger and I have even found it eating dead fishes between the rocks. Found attached between stones and oysters with mud about 3m to 7m deep. Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. May 2026. Value for the most hard to get and rare White Albinistic color form with superb conditions: 20-25 euros . Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC
