Halgerda tessellata is characterized by the pattern of yellowish-brown-orange
flattened ridges over the mantle, the spaces in between are dark brown with
opaque white spots.
I have posted more pictures than usual to show the colour variants of the ridges in this species, ranging from thin orange to
broad orange-red, and to show this specimen upon its egg mass. I have seen specimens from the Maldive Islands with broad pale orange ridges
