Cinctura hunteria (G. Perry, 1811) Eastern Banded Tulip Orange Form

    This specimen was found while in the process of being devoured by a small Triplofusus giganteus (Kiener, 1840) [Florida Horse Conch] possessing a pure white shell. These so-called "albino" Triplofusus giganteus are quite common at this location.
