Hi,
reminds me of Crepidula walshi Reeve, 1859 (widely spread distribution). I got some from the western coast of Thailand. Is that possible?
Kind regards: wolf

Thx Wolfi,
that fits great.
Not mentioned in " Encyclopedia of Marine Gasteropods " . Whata shame.

I also agree with wolfi on Crepidula walshi, I have observed the same beached and live into cone shells. Pierre
