Hi folks,

I just returned from Thailand where the fishermen were throwing out lots of noble volutes and Spondylus and other goodies. Fouling their nets. Their trash and my treasure.

Found 4 watering pots in the middens. I don't have the Latin name on hand. Is there much known about the animal and the function of this strange structure? I did find the tiny bivalve along the anterior of the tube.
