The size of the shell varies between 25 mm and 35 mm.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off the Philippines and the Solomon Islands.

gollark: Explicitly-graph-structured stuff is quite popular now. There's one big SaaS product, Roam Research, various opensource projects doing similar stuff, and also TiddlyWiki which has been around for ages and is some sort of crazy HTML/JS quine-type thing which happens to be able to store notes, and now has extensions for that.
gollark: I have notes (on academic topics) because I can *generally* remember stuff fine but sometimes forget a thing and require some information on it rapidly || 🐝.
gollark: That is not how "extensively" works.
