A wonderful pair of Branch Murex and Intricate Conch Shell on custom stands. Triplofusus giganteus, commonly known as the Florida horse conch, is a species of extremely large predatory subtropical and tropical sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Fasciolariidae, the spindle snails, tulip snails and their allies. Triplofusus giganteus is the largest species of snail. It has been hypothesized that female individuals reach larger sizes than males. The animal can retract the soft parts entirely into the shell and close it with the operculum. The soft parts are bright orange in color. Chicoreus ramosus, common name the ramose murex or branched murex, is a species of predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails. One of its most striking ornamentations are the conspicuous, leaf-like, recurved hollow digitations. It also presents three spinose axial varices per whorl, with two elongated nodes between them. The shell is coloured white to light brown externally, with a white aperture, generally pink towards the inner edge, the outer lip and the columella. Murex shells are often large, spiny, and have a distinctive shape. The aperture (the opening of the shell) is typically narrow.
