Bractechlamys vexillum - CAUBIAN REEF FORM , Reeve, 1853
Size
40 mm
Locality
Philippines
Note
F+++. Fantastic piece with dark brown coloring. Top quality.
We dived in 2017 several dozen life vexillum on the northwestern side of Caubian reef, usually around 10-12 m deep in short seagrass on clear white sand. The presence of these many scallops there is a première, as they only appeared now. All belong to the pale to dark olive to brown colors, some with clear white spots and a few were orange only. Great material to make a Caubian reef vexillum-set.
