Is this a Giant Eastern Murex? It's not that big.

I'm assuming this shell is in the Muricidae family.  I'm EXTREMELY new to all this but I'm not sure it is the Giant Eastern Murex because the pictures and descrïptions I've seen have a glossy white interior lining and the one I have is a vivid pink.  It's exterior also shows part of the pink glowing from the inside and while it does have some brown striping it is not as dark or pronounced as pictures I've seen of the Murex.  It measures 5" long, 2 1/4 inches high and 3" at it's widest point.

THANKS
