Description

Another amazing find in the intertidal today. Thank-you @robberfly I think this one is Calliostoma gloriosum. What do you think @pliffgrieff @invertzoo The base does not have any markings on it like the C. tricolor I posted. Again, an empty shell, no hermit. We have had quite a few storms this month and are wondering if that is perhaps why we are seeing a few new subtidal species here.
