Hello gang,
 
I need some help.  I collected some Spondylus while diving the Boxcars
40-45 miles off of Fort Meyer.  Some are obviously Spondylus americanus,
but there appears to be another species with shorter spines and a
squater body.  Blood red in color.  Is this Spondylus ictericus?  Why is
this species not shown in any of the common reference books (Abbott et
al)?  Is it scarcer than americanus?
 
Many thanks in advance,
 
Scott Jordan
