DISTRIBUTION Indo-West Pacific
This widespread Indo-West Pacific species seems to have three regional colour forms. The southwest Pacific form has a mottled brown body with bluish white (outer), then black, then yellow (inner) bands on the heavily folded mantle edge, and the foot. The Philippines – Indonesia colour form has a bluish outer band on the mantle edge but the inner black and yellow lines tend to merge into a dull khaki band. The East African animals lack a distinct bluish white band at the mantle edge.
