Note

MUSEUM GIANT INTACT CONDITIONS!! With 20.2mm probably this is the WRS for the species. Ultra rare Monster size. VERY RARE SPECIES IN MEXICO WOOOW!! The biggest I have ever seen live and virtually with unimaginable excellent-perfect conditions. Superb sculpture with the best axial and spiral ribs all around with brown banding and spotting colors all around, extra thick massive serrated special lip with elegant aperture and original operculum. Very rare intact protoconch WOOOW!! GEM!! Each time I am amazed when I find one of these. Maybe 2 to 3 specimens per year with a lot of luck. And always in different ecosystems. From places near mangroves, lagoons, mouths, between rocks and sands, corals and more. So my conclusion is that this species is very adaptable to all ecosystems but very scarce with really small populations. They are solitary and for the most part it could be said that they are nocturnal, since all those that I have found have been under rocks, caves or buried in areas with a lot of darkness and inactive. The real unique opportunity to get the biggest ever found. Found attached under stones with mud about 1 and 2m deep. Escollera el Eden near Laguna de Cuyutlan, Colima, Mexico. November 2025. Value for the biggest specimen I have ever seen and collected, possibly WRS and with Gem Museum condition: 100 euros. Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC.
