Description from the seller
German
The Euprotomus vomer, a fascinating sea snail, is found in the warm tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific. Its habitat ranges from the coasts of East Africa to the islands of the western Pacific, including the Philippines and Indonesia. This snail prefers shallower marine zones, often at depths of up to 30 meters, where it can be found in sandy or coral-rich areas.
A remarkable feature of Euprotomus vomer is its uniquely shaped shell. It has an elegant, elongated form with a sharp edge reminiscent of an ancient projectile – hence the name 'vomer,' meaning plowshare. The surface of the shell often displays impressive patterns and color variations, ranging from gentle browns to vibrant whites and yellows. These aesthetic qualities make Euprotomus vomer a sought-after collector's item and a highlight in any marine exhibition.
With a maximum size of about 12 centimeters, the Euprotomus vomer is among the medium-sized members of its family. Its graceful appearance and the intricate design of its shell attract attention and offer a fascinating insight into the diversity and beauty of the marine world. For collectors and aquarium enthusiasts looking to add a touch of exotic elegance to their collection, the Euprotomus vomer is an excellent choice.
