Description
C. patula has a conical shaped shell with smooth plates, with long cirri IV, V and VI. Dwarf males often settle on the plates and are distributed randomly. In contrast, C. testudinaria has a flatter, less conical shape, the cirri IV, V and VI are short, and there are shallow oval depressions on the radii at the junctions of the plates. Dwarf males commonly settle in these depressions.
