Ovulid shell - Aclyvolva sp.

We were especially interested in shells that live and feed on soft corals and gorgonians. The mantle of each species usually matches the color and pattern of its host coral and often takes a trained eye to spot. This Aclyvolva species lives on thin branches of red gorgonian. 20mm or3/4 inch.
