Description

A marine gastropod shell, characterized by its elongated conical shape and a moderately high, stepped spire. The shell exhibits a vibrant orange to reddish-orange base color, adorned with irregular white blotches and patches, particularly noticeable on the spire and body whorl. The surface appears largely smooth on the main body whorl but shows fine spiral grooves towards the base and axial ribs on the spire whorls. The aperture is narrow and extends along most of the body whorl.
