I ask this as it moves like an Assassin and there are about 10 - 12 Assassins in the CT, but it's colouring is different. Not the vivid yellow and black stripes Rugby strip.

Anentome helena aka Clea helena is found throughout South East Asia (see map below) and from my understand there are some variations in shell colour depend on where they where originally collected from.

It’s a Stealth Assassin. Created by three regular assassins merging. Invisible to radar.
