Common in East Africa and Thailand. the knobby shape is small with a size of 30-35mm while the smooth shape can exceed 60mm. The smooth and knobby forms occur together in East Africa. The smooth shape sits on a sandy bottom while the knobbed shape sits on rocks. The first photo shows the smooth decorus (as described by Röding) and the 2nd photo shows the knobbed shape.
