Which siliquaria? - lulu.shell - 10-24-2010

Hello friends!

I was wondering if anyone could help me classify these siliquaria species? The one on the left is white, the one on the right is brown. They are between 65-75 mm long. As far as I know they are both from the Philippines or that area.

Thank you and best wishes, Emma.

Pretty sure the smooth white one is Siliquaria cumingii.  Not sure about the other one.

Thank you for your identification Paul! I'm sorry I haven't replied for so long, but I lost my old account with the change of web pages, and I have only just rejoined!
