Description

The size of an adult shell varies between 8 mm and 20 mm. The shell is yellowish brown, with a central reddish chestnut band, filled with a double series of revolving white-tipped tubercles. Below this, on the body whorl, there is a second narrower band, bearing a single series of small white tubercles, a brown line and spots at the base.[2]

Distribution

This species occurs in the demersal zone of the tropical Indo-Pacific off East Africa, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Australia (Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia), New Caledonia, and Polynesia.

gollark: Also, I may be missing something, but this "Explosively pumped flux compression generator" is apparently a one-shot device. One which generates a brief pulse of electricity to accelerate your projectile from some chemical energy. Isn't this just an inefficient gun with a bunch of indirection?
gollark: ... a NDA? Is this not just a personal project or something?
gollark: Wait, the test thing is back?
gollark: Biology is neat, if extremely complicated and hard to do things with.
gollark: I scrolled up a bit to check, and it seems fine apart from a few typos and the fact that you don't really seem to use punctuation or capitalization at all, which lots of people do now anyway.
