Coelopleurus exquisitus …VERY RARE …25.69 mm Gem

Extreme deep-water, endemic New Caledonian species – one of the most sought after of all echinoderms. No longer collected, upon account of the ban upon deep-sea fishing at the locality, and now obtainable only from the choicest old collections. An opportunity for a dedicated echinoderm specialist to secure an exceptional example of this exquisite, rarely offered species.
