Aaaggghhh!

It looks an Erosaria spurca! Yes, I mean the Mediterranean commonest cowry.
Coming from Eilat (Red Sea) it would be one of the so-called
anti-lessepsian migrant. Since I tend to be very reluctant in accepting
antilessepsians, I would consider the possibility of fortuitous record. I
must anyway admit that accidental import of a shell of cowry from the
Mediterranean to the Red Sea would be strange ..... ?
