Which Strombidae?

[GerritM]

Hi (Don)!
Do you know this Strombidae?
Could it be a Canarium labiatum?

regards
Gerrit

Yes, Canarium labiatum. C. rugosus occurs in some of the same areas and may look very similar, but lacks the dark colored lip, and has slightly more radial sculpture.

Cheers,



Don

I just love the eyestalks on Stombid conchs, it gives them a fascinating personality. I had a Queen Conch that hhen I walked up to the tank, I could almost tell it was looking at me. Neat critter. Then my slipper lobster devoured it.
