This beautiful Fasciolaria tulipa was personally collected by me while commercial lobster fishing in the Dry Tortugas, Florida. Recovered from a baited lobster trap set in 180–200 feet, this specimen exhibits exceptional cream and burnt-orange patterning, a long graceful siphonal canal, glossy surface, and comes with its original operculum. The vibrant coloration, excellent proportions, and clean aperture make this an outstanding collector specimen.
