AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Product Description & Scientific Data
Scientific name: Trochus sacellum (R. A. Philippi, 1855).
Common name: Pagoden-Kreiselschnecke (engl. Sacellum Top Shell).
Quality grade: GEM (Flawless shell with no chips or cracks; the finely bead-like ribbing and the pointed apex are in pristine condition).
Size: 23 mm (2.3 cm). This corresponds to a perfect, mature average size for this species, which typically reaches a final shell height between 15 mm and 30 mm.
Morphology: Notably the strictly conical "turban-shaped" form with spirally arranged bead-like rings. The pattern typically features a high-contrast combination of white, cream, and red-brown to darkly mottled patches.
Family: Trochidae (top shells).
Origin & Habitat
Geographic origin: Palawan, Philippines (Indo-Pacific).
Habitat: A marine shallow-water species that typically lives in tidal zones, shallow coral reefs, and on rocky substrates at depths of 1 to 10 meters. There, it primarily feeds as an algal grazer.
