A gigantic murex with attractive dark stripes alternating on the shell. It also displays very elegant long spines but more sparsely placed then M. pecten. Getting a perfect specimen is rare outside of the Philippines that employ tangle net fishing as this species lives deep. Trawled specimens are usually heavily damaged, especially the sub-species M. troscheli heros which are very hard to find in good condition. Ranges from Japan – Arabian Gulf; Red Sea & E Africa. Size can grow over 190mm.
