Turridrupa
jubata (Reeve, 1843)
18.7mm
Turridrupa
jubata is moderately uncommon under rocks, in rubble, or in small ledges
and caves at night on seaward and pinnacle reefs.The identification is somewhat
tentative, since the shell also resembles Turridrupa cincta; however,
the white anterior and apex, plux the slightly protuding siphonal canal, is
more indicative of T. jubata.
The living animal immediately below was found and photographed by Stan Jazwinski.
