Both are Conus coffeae (C. scabriusculus is a synonym).

hi conpa, many thanks for your help, to id my shell, i didnt know c.coffeae can be found in the philippines. i thought scabriusculus (Dillwyn 1817) is not a synonym. but i do appreciate youve id my 1 & 2 shell, at least now i can label it.

many thanks again! Wink Smile
