AFAIK there is generally no easy way to tell whether the shell is a juvenile or not. For some groups like Cypraea it is easy to tell apart a juvenile and an adult because of the characteristical shell shape and/or colors. For other species there are only hints like a thin shell or a thin lip or short spines, but all these could just as well belong to the normal appearance of that particularly species.
I have a juvenile N. gualtieriana just like yours one from Malaysia (Langkawi). I wasn't able to identify it until recently when I got an adult N. gualtieriana specimen from Australia. Mike |
