| Phylum | Mollusca | The snails have a shell 5 to 7 centimeters in diameter. The cone-like shell coils up from a flat base. The spirals are composed of vibrant shades of black, white, and brown. The body and its tentacles are stripped as well to match the shell. Its operculum is made of a horn-like material. It is common in Indo-Pacific Asia and around India and often lives among coral reefs, and enjoys sandy seafloors.
