Which siliquaria? - Emma - 03-12-2012 Hello again! These two siliquaria specimens are from the Philippines, but I don't know what they are. Can anybody help? I can provide better photos if this is the problem. Best wishes, Emma. Re: Which siliquaria? - paul monfils - 03-12-2012 Kind of tough identifying species where the shape is so variable.  But there are some characteristics that are fairly constant within a species, and based on that I'd guess Siliquaria anguina for the smooth white one, and Tenagodus trochlearis for the other one. Re: Which siliquaria? - Emma - 03-12-2012 Thank you so much Paul!!  I had posted this photo a couple of times before with no luck. So, I can finally close the case. I thought the whiter one was S. anguina, but I knew the darker one couldn't be the same shell. Best wishes and thanks again! Emma.
