This beautiful Conasprella delessertii is a fine deep-water specimen personally collected by me while commercial lobstering on Pulley Ridge. It displays the species’ elegant tapered profile, creamy ivory base color, and numerous small brown markings distributed evenly over the body whorl. Specimens from this offshore Florida locality are highly desirable among collectors because of their excellent quality and documented collection data.
