Hi!  I'm looking for confirmation on this being a cabbage (rose) murex, and if so, which name should I use?  I've seen both Hexaplexand phyllonotus used for it.  Thanks! Smile

It is,

Muricinae (Subfamily )
Hexaplex ( Genus )
Hexaplex (Trunculariopsis) (Subgenus)
brassica  ( Specie )         
                                Lamarck 1822

Phyllonotus as Subgenus is wrong
