Dear Bill and colleagues
I have seen a X. conchyliophora attached to a living Terebra taurina.
The specimens is in private collection of Luiz Trinchão, collected in
Salvador (Bahia, Brazil).
By the way, I am looking for preserved specimens of X. conchyliophora
collected in Pacific waters for a comparative morphological study.
Best wishes
Luiz
