Trochus ochroleucus Gmelin,
1791
32.0mm
These
are very common intertidally, out near the breakers on the seaward edge of the
windward reef at Kwajalein. They resemble Trochus
maculatus but are a bit more squat (wider but not as tall) and have
more distinct spiral cords with larger beads on the shell. We do not have a
photo of a living specimen.
