ornate_wrasse 0 Posted September 1, 2008 I took a picture of this in Cozumel last month, but am having trouble identifying it. Your input would be most welcome. Thanks! Ellen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlyle 8 Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) It's the egg case of the West Indian Chank (similar to a horse conch). Turbinella angulata Jeff Slimmon caught one in the act of laying the egg case (used with permission): Edited September 1, 2008 by jlyle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ornate_wrasse 0 Posted September 2, 2008 Thanks Jim for the ID on the image. And a big thanks to Jeff for letting you use his image. I'm going to have to research this critter and learn more about it. It was the very first time I had a chance to see it while diving. Hope we get to dive together again soon!
