The “Thorny Winged Murex” is a large and attractively winged muricid ranging from Western Australia to Torres Strait. It is locally fairly common but uncommon on the market in good condition. A predatory gastropod living among rocks on sandy to muddy bottoms, it is found in quite a wide bathymetric range from very shallow to moderate depths around -5~200m. Very variable in colouration from white to bright orange to dark brown. Average shell length around 70~80mm, very large specimens may approach 100mm. – Adapted from Chong Chen’s post
