Pour les francophiles

Conus distans Hwass in Bruguière, 1792

Rareté : Peu commune
Habitat : Les specimens que j'ai pu observer étaient soit cachés sous des plaques de coraux morts soit à découvert, à l'extérieur des récifs ou bien le long de la côte granitique dans 4-5 mètres d'eau.
Discussion : La variation seychelloise est souvent de couleur claire : blanche, violacée ou marron clair, s'opposant au marron classique d'autres localités comme Tahiti.
Rarity : Uncommon
Habitat :

The specimens I found were hidden under huge dead coral plate in 4-5 meters of water, outside a reef or exposed along rocky (granit) shore in 4-5 meters too.
Discussion : Seychelles' variation is often white to violin colored and so very different from other places like Polynesia where they are always brown colored.

Size : 59.5 mm
