A FEMALE WITH A PINK-RED MAGENTA COLOR BAND. Out of 131 “Bufo” the 5th biggest shell from the females and the most beautiful one. A species with a huge range throughout the Indo-Pacific but uncommon everywhere. Clearly, the finest shells come from the Philippines. This master shell belongs to what we call the female form with a big columellar shield. It is very large and superb and it took more than an hour to clean. The shell weighs 410 g.
Philippines. Mindanao. Zamboanga. 10-25 m. 2013.
