This clip features a Textile Cone ... very agressive and deadly. This is not a Geographis. I remember a time when a fisher man in the Philipines found 75 "Glory of the Seas" in one night. It shocked the value down to 1000. It used to be much higher.

Thanks for your comments on my cone uploads.

I am double checking over the next few days and will change my video info when I can be sure of what it is.

You sound like you know alot about this.

Tell us more about how you came to know about cone shells.

Is it a pofessional thing, or are you a hobbyist?

I have a few more cone uploads currently in edit for upload over the next couple of months. Please stay tuned ... your comments will be appreciated.

I started very early learning about shells and marine life. I lived on Guam and was NAUI certified with over 100 logged dives by the age of 12. I collect live shells and watched them grow. Amazing how much we learn having fun vs having to study. Although we had to learn what we could touch and what not ... sorry did not mean to take so long to reply to your comment above. I would enjoy seeing more of your videos. Phil

Gloria maris is the expensive cone shell that I meant; around $ 1.000 per specimen

why so expensive?

[Tenderness6]

Simply because they are the rarest and most sought after cone shells in the world.

Some cone shell species are very, very expensive
