One of the small Philippine Pleurotomariidae. Named after Patrick Anseeuw, a Belgian expert on Pleurotomariidae. These are younger shells, as adults can reach quite big sizes up to around 90ish mm. This specimen is a good start, or for a decorative cabinet with Pleuro's. Some growth marks as can be seen in the pictures. No operculum. Lip and slit slightly chipped as per usual in Pleuro's. Apex gone.
