Makiyamaia coreanica is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Clavatulidae.[1][2]
The size of an adult shell varies between 25 mm and 50.9 mm. The whorls are angular and tuberculated in the middle. These tubercles develop from more or less indistinct oblique folds or ribs, everywhere closely encircled by striae. The color of the shell is light yellowish brown, the tubercles lighter.[3]
