Description
The size of the shell attains 12 mm, its width 4 mm. The small shell is lanceolate. It contains ten slightly convex whorls bearing revolving carinae, of which there are 4–5 on the whorls of the spire, and 10–12 on the body whorl. The middle carina is stronger, the interspaces clathrate. The aperture measures one-fourth the total length. The sinus is broad and deep. The siphonal canal is short, wide and twisted.[2]
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Japan
gollark: It might not be *infinitely* actually, but definitely an odd quirk.
gollark: Okay, I just found another way to get (very small) amounts of money which a bot could trivially do in a loop or something. If this is deemed an issue there'll inevitably be a hacky "fix" for it, but the system is fundamentally broken.
gollark: Also, bots wouldn't actually be an issue with a better designed system which requires thinking. Which, to be fair, this sort of does, except for the fact that the *only* way to get money is probably to check the prices constantly, which bots do well.
gollark: The old bot source is up. Someone could run a new subreddit with the old bot or something.
gollark: It seems a very weird system.
