Maximum size: approx. 13 cm. Occurrence: Indo-Pasific area (excluding Hawaii). In general a much sought after and much traded species in the souvenir trade. This shell can also be found in many professional collections, with sometimes more than a hundred specimens. The variety in this species almost seems to have limits. The specimen in the photo is a so-called sub-adult. A copy that has just not reached adulthood. A kind of adolescent, as it were. Nice color and big for the species.
