From my collection<\/p>\n

The “Watson’s Trophon<\/strong>” is a prickly muricid native to the temperate southwestern Pacific ranging from southern Brazil to Falkland Islands to Chile, with some records off the Antarctic Peninsula also. A carnivorous and predatory gastropod, it inhabits soft bottoms of rather deep water around -80~400m. The yellowish white colouration, general form, and sculpture is usually consistent but development of varices varies among individuals. Originally placed in the genus Trophon, it was recently reassigned to Coronium based on protoconch and egg capsule morphology, both of which resemble Coronium coronatum (Penna-Neme & Leme, 1978). It is a large trophon, perhaps the largest in the region, with an average shell length of 80mm and giants may reach 120mm.<\/p>\n
