  • To quote from the article "the shell color can range from black with white dots, to orange with white reticulations, so arranged as to expose the white in rounded triangular large spots. The aperture is white or light pink." The colour casts are magenta and green, neither of which appear to be naturally imprinted. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 21:17, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
