This is a very standard witch bone snail, a living body in the seabed, not a specimen.
Witch bone snail, diving can still be photographed or more difficult.
Witch bone snails are generally nocturnal and rarely come out to forage during the day, so there are fewer divers during the day.
Witch bone snails, most of them live on the sandy ground on the seabed, while recreational diving is generally in the coral reef area, so it is more difficult to meet and take pictures.
Witch bone snail, meat can be eaten and delicious, the shell is beautiful for collection, and the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries are exported to the world in large quantities for sale to shell collectors, so this snail is becoming increasingly scarce, and it may be more difficult to encounter live animals in the future.
Data show that it is also widely distributed in the sandy fields of the shallow Pacific Ocean.
