Neorapana muricata 73mm F+++, Uncommon
Broderip, 1832
Muricidae
Off Las Hadas, Manzanillo , Mexico October 2018
Collected by a local diver (Eduardo Moreno) at 6 meters depth in rock caves
Life taken.
Extraordinary sea shell with original operculum. Seldom available specie.
It is a very good quality samples for the specimen, fully mature shell with a few micro holes near the apex but that is a minor issue for this stunning beauty. Amazing orange color base and inner lip, uncommon specie from Mexico and super rare in this level of perfection, virtually impossible to get this multiple and complete scales.
