Dear Koh,
It's nice to get some more photos of H. zonata. This animal which lacks the clear spiral bands usually seen in this species are a useful addition to our understanding of variability in this species. In fact you can see traces of dark spiral bands on the shell formed from thickening of parts of the black axial lines on the shell.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
