H. Pilsbry regarded Haliotis exigua as a juvenile of Haliotis diversicolor.[2] It is unclear whether this species deserves recognition.[3]

Description

The size of the shell attains 21 mm. The flat oval shell has an irregular sculpture. It is slightly canaliculate in the middle. It is densely spirally striate and lirate, but obsoletely plicate. The apex is prominent. It has a dark coloration of gray-red. The inner surface is vividly iridescent.[1]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Japan to Vietnam.

gollark: As such, assuming I could do all the infrastructural setup, I can just set up the ritual thing very carefully, bait the chaos guardian into going near its area of effect, and then [REDACTED] it utterly.
gollark: Astral Sorcery has something which can freeze nearby mobs. It appears to work on chaos guardians.
gollark: So I don't like it, and I don't want to do the boring thing of making draconic armor and using its "literally unable to die" capabilities.
gollark: That was a rhetorical question which you were expected to answer in some way. Regardless, I will keep expositing.
gollark: Well, you know how DE has the chaos guardian, which is bad?
