9. Nassarius nigellus
I found this lovely shell when I was looking up Harry Potter names.

Nassarius nigellus

Endemic to Australia; Cairns, Qld, to Cockburn Sound, WA, including Tas.

Habitat: On mud and sand flats, or in sand, low tide level to 180 m. Common.

Comparison: Although N. pauperatus occurs as far north as Sydney, it is rare and appears to be restricted to deeper water in NSW.

Synonyms: This species is quite variable, in terms of size, the presence of absence of denticles on the inside of the outer lip, the presence or absence of a varix on the body whorl, and in colour banding. A number of forms have been given specific names:

17. Bourne, C, Korn ...
they are all fine.

I prefer Korn shell though (seems to be the best of all worlds).
