 Sure, I'd be happy to help! Based on the text you provided, I would categorize Calliostoma blacki as an animal.

Here are my steps and justification for each step:

Step 1: Identify the nouns in the text.

Nouns: Calliostoma blacki, sea snail, gastropod mollusc, subgenus, Maurea.

Step 2: Determine the category for each noun.

* Calliostoma blacki: animal (as it is a species of sea snail)
* sea snail: animal
* gastropod mollusc: animal
* subgenus: category not applicable (as it is a taxonomic rank, not a physical entity)

Step 3: Choose the most appropriate category for the text as a whole.

Based on the nouns and their categories, the most appropriate category for the text as a whole is animal. Therefore, the answer is animal.<|im_end|>
