Zoila aurata immaculata - Super Rare Colour Form ! , Raybaudi
Size
77.3 mm
Locality
Coral Bay, WA
Note
We have recently returned from a collecting trip off Coral Bay where we found this aurata lacking any dorsal spotting. It was collected during April 2024 from a white funnel sponge in 168 metres of water off Coral Bay. Super rare colour form of which we have collected few specimens. Immaculata is a name Raybaudi used to refer to the very limited number of aurata he acquired from Taiwanese fishing trawlers in the 197'ties and 198'ties with plain unspotted dorsa. The shell has an obvious dorsal growth interruption but if it were gem I would ask a price north of 6,500 euro, They are super rare. Fine+.
