Note

GIANT RARE SIZE WOOOOOW!!! With 29.1mm this is a Giant ultra rare for the species. For advancer CORALLIOPHILIDAE experts and lovers of large species, absent in many collections. Natural conditions. There is not much information about this rarity and usually the specimens are rarely seen alive. I found this one alive myself. This special specimen was found under a type of soft coral with green coloration and multiple polyps, when I removed some of this soft coral it was attached to the stone under the soft coral, I never imagined to find it completely covered and without any visibility that there would be a specimen there. Really hidden and impossible to find without removing this soft coral. A very mysterious question of how it lived inside this thick soft coral! This unique GIANT is rarely seen, the lip is really colossal and finely with multiple scales and undulated like wings. The most beautiful extended and shiny white aperture. The shell is not a Gem but still nice and with original natural conditions, this species at this giant sizes are most with erosion around this is as best you can get for large specimens. F++. Found attached under soft green coral inside the stones at extremely low tide about 1m deep. La Calechosa, Cuastecomates, Jalisco, Mexico. March 2025. Value for this RARE species with Giant ultra rare size: 35-40 euro. Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC
