Hi (Don)!
Do you know, with this photo and Video, which Nassarius could it be?

Nassarius (Nassarius) optimus?
Nassarius (Telasco) luridus?
Nassarius (Zeuxis) barsdelli?

or another?

Hi Gerritt,

It's not one of the species that I know very well, so it's probably a Philippine/Indian Ocean species. As you know, there are several similar species, but the length-to-width ratio and the obscure spotting makes me believe it is probably Nassarius luridus.

Cheers,



Don

Thank´s Don. That was my favorite, too.
Yes it is an Philippine/Indian Ocean species. Sorry, I forgot to write that.

best wishes
