Nebularia coarctata (Reeve, 1844)
20.7mm

Nebularia coarctata is moderately common on lagoon reefs and pinnacles, usually under rocks by day or exposed in ledges at night. Depth range is mostly from 6 to 16m. It remembles Nebularia contracta in color, but is proportionally much shorter for its width and the aperture proportionally longer.

It is not certain the two empty shells figured below are both actually the same species.
