Note | Here is a PERFECT example of this SUPER RARE species of Cribrarula. Recently have we discovered a brand new population of exmouthensis exmouthensis in the Exmouth Gulf. We have collected just a few of these incredibly rare shells of which haven't been collected in the last 20+ years ever since pearl divers were in operation in the area. A SUPERB DARK MAROON/CHESTNUT dorsum has IMMACULATE SPOTTING over the entire shell which has just thin, but evident BLUE HALO just above the clean white calloused margin. The slightly rostrate terminals with a wide aperture and coarse, strong teeth are key characteristics in defining this species of which are all readily present in this species. A WONDERFUL example of this EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE species of which is missing from most collections! GEM condition with no flaws to be seen. Live taken from host sponge on low reef at 14m.
