Hexaplex stainforthi (Stainforth's murex)

The “Stainforth’s Murex” is a common muricid native to Northwest Australia, although some records exist from as far north as the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. It is a shallow water carnivore and can be found in intertidal waters. There exists an albinistic form which has white varices instead of black, and is more uncommon. May exceed 70mm in shell length. – Adapted from Chong Chen’s post
