| Tudivasum flindersi (Verco, 1914) This species is extremely variable in size, colour, sculpture and above all condition. There are basically two forms: A) "shallow water form", heavy small shells with low to no spines while fully mature, often taken alive by divers - and B) "deep water form", usually taken dead in lobster pots, much larger and often with well-developed spines. | |||
