Calliostoma ocellatum is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Calliostomatidae.[2]
The shell has a rather broadly conical shape. It is reddish fulvous, ocellated with brown-shaded white spots. The whorls are concavely impressed round the upper parts, then rounded, and spirally grain-ridged throughout. The shell is rather constricted below the sutures, then rounded and ocellated with shaded opaque-white spots.[3]
