Dear all, I need some help on the id of some shells. While I was down in Florida during the Thanksgiving weekend, I managed to catch up on some field collecting. I brought up six Dove shells, and I have looked through all my references, but no luck. Here is the description: First, these are definitely in the genus Anachis. They measure 12mm. It is fairly high spired, resembling Anachis avara in some ways, including the vertical ribs, but these are stronger and less numerous than avara's. The color and pattern is breathtaking; the base color is transparent white, with wavy, vertical bands of brown on the spire. Near the aperture and canal, the pattern gets much finer, and takes on a net-like appearance. The operculum is sickle shaped, like a Strombus. When I had them in a container of water alive, I made note that the periostracum was brownish-green. The columella is tinged faint violet, and both the columella and the inner lip have about 7 tiny denticles. The exterior of the shell has numerous, fine spiral lines, which become more intense near the base. And, as a last note, the entire shell is highly glossy. Can anyone help? Thanks, James
