It appears to be seasonally common, with many seen during a single visit. Features: 4-5cm long. Hard broad body with rounded bumps all over it like beads with a broad band down the centre of the body which has fewer or no bumps and is usually darker in colour. The body doesn't fall apart when handled. Gills feathery and orange. The underside is pale with some dark blotches on the edges. The narrow foot is plain. |
