Due to its isolation and remoteness, the Saya de Malha bank has a quite unique fauna. However, it is also full of common indopacific species. For a list of species occuring at Saya de Malha, please check an article published in La Conchiglia, 1995. It reports and illustrates the results of a russian expedition there, and I recall a complete checklist of mollusca obtained in that campaign, both rare and common ones. Interestingly, Lambis violacea occurs also there.
