Cerithium
claviforme Schepman, 1907
26.4mm
This species is common
at Kwajalein, but only on lagoon pinnacle reefs, mostly those in the southern
atoll. They hide under rocks and back in holes during the day, but can be easily
seen in ledges at night. Shells are usually heavily encrusted with coralline
algae and other growths; the figured shells are all unusually clean.
