Reticulate Distorsio

Hi!

Yup, sorry I wasn't able to show you my favourite find yesterday. So here it is! A Reticulate Distortio Shell, Distorsio reticularis. I guess this is the first distorsio I have in my collection. Tried to look up for information in it on the web but can't seem to find much except one from seashellhub.com. Apparently, it is found on sandy shores which are less disturbed. Its colour ranges from white to slightly brownish-yellow. gastropods.com also provides 4 photos for you to identify the shells. Family Personidae, Genus Distorsio. It feeds on echinoderms and lives on sandy shores under coral bits. If any readers have information on its feeding habits, please feel free to comment! :)
:) Hope you will find your own distorsio too! :)
