Description

EDITED! This text has been edited according to the comment made by @leslieh below.

Bispira cf. mariae
Regarding the difference between B. mariae and B. volutacornis, Trainito and Baldacconi claim in their "Atlante di Flora e Fauna del Mediterraneo" (6th ed. 2021) mariae is the species of the Mediterraneis, whereas volutacornis is found in the Atlantic Sea. But I cannot say how they came by this information.

Sighting the relevant Bispira specimen on iNat I come to the conclusion that the Bispira "volutacornis" respectively "mariae" of the Atlantic coast of Europe are mostly (but not all) comparatively pale in color, variable in color, the bands of the crown are pale or nonexistent. ~ Bispira volutacornis?
The specimen of the Eastern Mediterraneis and Adriatic are mostly (but not all) of a comparatively dark brownish/orange color, mostly with prominent white and black bands. ~ Bispira mariae?

(In the Western Mediterraneis the rate of pale and uniformely colored specimen seems to be somewhat higher than in the E-Med.)

The five seven photos compare with a similarly sized C. gallina in the Gulf of Lyon (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/36114509). The specimen considered here is always on the left. In the last two photos (taken > 1 year later) it has become much paler, but it's still the same shell). Last photo highlights the paleal sinus

They are protogynous hermaphrodites with individuals being females while young changing to males later.

Training day of the photo contest.
The photo contest is about the amount of fish. I couldn't resist to photograph also other species. It was in freediving and I never did a course for it. I had a hard time also 5 hours in a row in the water. But a lot of fun!
