Where is it from?
I think Indo-Pacific
I would say Trochus radiatus from the Red Sea area.
Ok thanks very much !!!
Just one question .... what is Trochus infuscatus?
If you are looking on Eddie Hardy's website the top two are radiatus, the bottom one is different, maybe hanleyanus. I don't know infuscatus at all. I will investigate.

All I can find is Cantharidus infuscatus.

Which is a Japanese shell that looks nothing like the photos on Eddie's site.

Looks like Trochus radiatus to me too. I found some at the Mannar-gulf  S.E. India
Ok thanks
