Confirmation on murex sp? - wateryworld - 12-10-2011
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!

It is,
Muricinae (Subfamily )
Hexaplex ( Genus )
Hexaplex (Trunculariopsis) (Subgenus)
brassica ( Specie )    Â
                Lamarck 1822
Phyllonotus as Subgenus is wrong
