Rusty tegula top shell
(Trochoidea)
These shellfish live a lot in the rock place of the low water zone. The body layer seems rugged for a diagonal big vertical rib. The navel hole opens. They are distributed to the gulf depths part.
Like KUBOGAI, KUMONOKOGAI, BATEIRA, they are sold in the names of GANGARA and the shorefish in the market. The height of the husk is approximately 3.5cm.
