AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Product Description & Scientific Data
Scientific name: Siratus alabaster (Reeve, 1845) – formerly Murex alabaster.
Common name: Alabaster snail (Eng. Alabaster Murex).
Quality level: GEM (Absolutely flawless. The paper-thin, winged ribs and spines that are so characteristic for this species are completely undamaged and perfectly intact).
Size: 80 mm (8.0 cm). This is an excellent, fully grown standard size for this graceful species. (Larger specimens can reach up to 150 mm, but are usually noticeably bulkier).
Morphology: The shell captivates with its pure, porcelain-like alabaster white and the extremely graceful, curved wing structures (webbed wings) that resemble tropical petals.
Family: Muricidae (spiny snails).
Origin & Habitat
Geographic origin: Cebu, Philippines (Indo-Pacific).
Habitat: A true deep-water species. These animals live in the deeper benthos on mud and sand bottoms at spectacular depths of typically 200 to over 500 meters.
