Description:

A deformed ear-like shell, approximately 70mm in size with numerous irregular radial folds and few rapidly widening turns.

The inside of the shell is pearly. The body of the animal is soft with a broad foot and numerous lateral tentacles, which in many cases come out through the holes in the shell.

It is almost always found in the lower part of the stones, when exposed to the light of day they hurry to take cover again under some stone. Rocky coast of mediterranean sea. Isla Plana (Murcia).
