EDITORS COMMENTS
In this studio shot, a pair of Arabian tibia shells (Tibia insulae-chorab) take center stage against a black backdrop, their intricate designs illuminated by a soft, focused light. Native to the Indian Ocean, these remarkable gastropods are found in intertidal regions and can thrive in depths of up to 50 meters. The Arabian tibia, also known as the Arabian conch or the Arabian tibia mollusk, is a striking example of the beauty and diversity of the mollusk kingdom. With their pointed, spiral shape and distinctive stripes, these shells are easily recognizable. The outer surface is adorned with a series of spikes, adding to their allure and making them a fascinating find for marine explorers. Anatomically, these mollusks belong to the Neotaenioglossa subclass and the Strombidae family. Their scientific name, Tibia insulae-chorab, reflects their geographical origin and the unique characteristics of their shells. The Arabian tibia is not to be confused with the human tibia bone, despite their similar names. As invertebrates, these mollusks lack a backbone and rely on a soft body protected by their hard, calcium carbonate shells. Their anatomy is intricately adapted for their marine environment, enabling them to filter feed and navigate the depths of the Indian Ocean. This photograph serves as a testament to the wonders of the natural world and the intricate beauty that can be found in even the smallest of creatures. The Arabian tibia shells, with their pointed, spiral shapes and striking stripes, are a true marvel of the marine realm.
