Muricidae is the largest and very diverse family among marine snails with over 16000 valid species. They are mostly predatory and prey upon invertebrates including other mollusks and barnacles. Some species obtaining food by drilling a small circular hole in the shell of their prey. Muricids are usually ornamented with long spines or well developed wings. They are commonly known as murex snails or rock snails. Most species are fusiform in shape and some species with limpet-shaped and elongate forms. The aperture is typically open and ovate in outline. They are most common in tropical and subtropical shallow waters. Most muricids have very beautiful shells which are considered attractive by marine biologists and shell collectors.
