Cone Shell ID need help quick

[kaley1797]

Hi.  Not a cone shell, but a volute.  This is Cymbiola vespertilio, the "bat volute", from the Indo-Pacific region.  This is an extremely variable species, in color, pattern, and shape.  It is also the commonest volute species.  You can see a few of the many variations here: http://www.gastropods.com/7/Shell_7.shtml

Thanks so much! Do you think it could have just washed up on Coronado Beach in such good condition or could it actually live here?
