Vexillum granosum (Gmelin, 1791)
33.9mm

Vexillum granosum is common at Kwajalein, found primarily in sand on lagoon reefs and pinnacles at depths of 6 to about 23m. Recent work synonymizes this species with Vexillum sanguisuga. Although the only shell character that seem to separate the two species are the red bands around the latter, we are keeping them separate for now.
