Is this a Giant Eastern Murex? It's not that big.
Hello. Welcome to the forum. Your shell is indeed in the family Muricidae; but it is not the Giant Eastern Murex. It is the Pink-mouth Murex, Phyllonotus erythrostomus, from West Central America. The Latin name actually means the same thing as the English name. "erythro" means "red" or "pink"; "stomus" means "mouth".
