Description from the seller
Chicoreus crocatus - Size 50 mm
Dive into the world of snails with a specimen so impressive that it could strut down the runway in style! Here we have the Chicoreus crocatus, also known as the Crocus Murex snail, from an exclusive collection. With an impressive size of 50 mm and a quality that can only be described as a GEM, this piece is a true jewel for collectors and lovers of marine biology.
Origin and distribution:
The Chicoreus crocatus is native to the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific, particularly along the coasts of Australia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. This snail prefers rocky and coral-rich seabeds in shallow to mid-depths, where it hides during the day and hunts for food at night. One could say it is a real night owl!
Description and features:
Size: At 50 mm in length, this specimen belongs to the medium-sized representatives of its species. It is large enough to make an impression, but small enough to fit into your collection.
Quality: The snail is in TOP quality GEM, guaranteeing its extraordinary beauty and preservation. The surface is flawless and shows the characteristic patterns and colors in full glory. It is so perfect that one might think it won a beauty contest!
Color and pattern: The Chicoreus crocatus is characterized by its vivid colors and intricate patterns. The colors range from deep orange to various shades of yellow, often with fine, contrasting lines. One could almost say it was designed by a fashion guru!
Rarity: Due to its size and quality, this specimen is particularly rare and sought after by collectors. It is so exclusive that it quite deserves VIP status!
