Clanculus simoni is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.[2]
Description and identification
[edit | edit source]The size of the shell varies between 9.8 mm and 12.7 mm.
The shells are covered in cats eyes style dots, and are usually rose colored, leading up to cone shell becoming smaller as they go up the shell. The shell is also heavily banded.[3][4]
Reproduction
[edit | edit source]These species are mostly broadcast spawners, and the embryos evolve into planktonic trocophore larva then, juvenile veligers, eventually becoming full grown adults.[4]
Distribution
