Vexillum cf obeliscus (Reeve, 1844)
29.1mm

Vexillum cf obeliscus is uncommon at Kwajalein and is found in lagoon sandy areas at depths of about 13 to 23m. Vexillum obeliscus typically has a darker colored shell. While it has been observed that the shells of some species living in areas of nearly all white coral sand are lighter in color than their counterparts from other areas, it is possible that the Marshall Islands variety figured below may be a different species.
