Laqueus rubellus (Japanese name: Laqueus rubellus)
A brachiopod of the family Laqueidae. It is found throughout Japan and the Hawaiian Islands, and is collected attached to other objects using bottom trawls at depths of 40 to 500 meters. The shell is almost circular, usually about 3 cm long, 2.3 cm wide, and 1.5 cm thick, with the dorsal and ventral shells swelling equally, a yellowish pink color, and no markings. There are minute circular holes on the entire surface of the shell, and concentric growth lines can be seen. There is an elliptical shell apical hole at the rear between the dorsal and ventral shells, from which a fleshy stalk emerges and attaches to other objects.
