Where is it from?


Re: Trochidae - razgriz - 10-06-2010

I think Indo-Pacific


Re: Trochidae - dave r - 10-07-2010

I would say Trochus radiatus from the Red Sea area.


Re: Trochidae - razgriz - 10-07-2010

Ok thanks very much !!!
Just one question .... what is Trochus infuscatus?


Re: Trochidae - dave r - 10-07-2010

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
