Pour les francophiles

Conus tessulatus Born, 1778

Rareté : Très rare
Habitat : C'est une espèce d'eau peu profonde, enterrée dans le sable le jour autour des herbiers dans moins d'un mètre d'eau, en bord de plage. Ils partagent l'habitat avec Conus arenatus. Mais cette espèce peut se trouver également plus profondément.
Discussion : Cette espèce possède des des points oranges alors qu'à Tahiti les points sont rouges.
Rarity : Common
Habitat : It is a shallow water specie. I found many specimens burried in the sand around grass fields in less than one meter of water near the shore during the daytime. Often found along with Conus arenatus. It can be found deeper though.
Discussion : This species is very clear there. The spots are light orange colored. In Tahiti, for comparison, they have red colored spots.

Size : 42.0 mm
