Details
Maximum size: 41 cm Appearance: Indo-Pacific area. (Rare in Hawaii) These thick-shelled shells are impressive and eye-catching shells in a collection. Especially the larger varieties. A few species have sexual difference. This is by far the best known and largest species in the Cassidae family. Some giants reach up to 400mm! Nowadays the really large ones have become very rare and 300 mm is already a nice big one to have in your collection.

Deze dikschalige schelpen zijn indrukwekkende en opvallende schelpen in een verzameling. Zeker de grotere soorten. Enkele soorten hebben geslachtelijke differentie.
Dit is veruit de bekendste en grootste soort in de familie der Cassidae. Sommige reuzen bereiken wel 400 mm! Tegenwoordig zijn de echt grote exemplaren zeer zeldzaam geworden en is 300 mm al een mooie grote om in je collectie te hebben.
