Conus stercusmuscarum Linnaeus, 1758
Stercusmuscarum
cone, 52mm
Conus
stercusmuscarum is
very rare in the Marshalls, known from only two specimens found in sand on a
lagoon reef back in the early 1970s. We do not have a living shot of one of
those, but figured is a similar specimen from the Solomon Islands.
Below is one of the two specimens
found at Kwajalein.
