Burgess, 1965
Rare! 16.7 mm F+ (small defect on the dorsum)
Nuku Hiva. Marquesas. Very dark and contrasting specimen. Classic combination - dark purple back with bright yellow base. This mythical species almost never comes live collected. Most of the specimens stored in the collections are dead. The thing is that this mollusc lives deep in depths of the corals and it is very difficult to catch it without destroying the coral.... The white spots on the shell are from the camera.
Very low price for this specimen.
