Figure 7A, B View FIGURE 7

Pattern description. Solid, bright orange fluorescence on the entire external shell surface. The internal surface does not fluoresce aside from the muscle scars and pallial line, which appear yellow. Comment. Fluorescence intensity varies among specimens, with some shells showing only the faintest external fluorescence even after bleach treatment.
