Dear Conchlers, In 2-3 ft. water in coral sand in S.E. Florida I have
found numerous species that cannot be found in the local reference
books. These are "found dead" specimens, some are completely white
(still shiny as fresh ones, not beach worn or bleached from sun), some
are completely pale yellow, some have splotches of orange/light brown
and one is splotched with light pink & light brown. They were found near
Ft. Lauderdale @ John U. Lloyd State Park which has a productive coral
reef near the shoreline. All these are an inch in length or smaller. I
have found numerous Conus regius, Conus stearnsi, Conus spurius & Conus
jasper as well, and know these are not the ones in question. Please let
me know if you can identify these. Unfortunately I have not got a
digital camera & equipment to email an attachment over the internet at
this time. Any suggestions & help will be appreciated. Sincerely,
Christopher Stalder
