Haliotis pulcherrima is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Haliotidae, the abalone.

[2] Haliotis pulcherrima is commonly referred to the "Most Beautiful Abalone" (directly translated from Latin).

The color is whitish or flesh-colored with broad oblique red rays.

Outside of the row of holes the surface slopes flatly to the strong angle or carina at the columellar margin.

And the descending folds on this portion are cut into granules by spiral striae.
