The shell of this snail has an extremely long siphonal canal. The shell has over one hundred spines, which provide protection from predation, and prevent the snail from sinking in the soft mud. Like many other Murex snails, it feeds on other mollusks. This is a common species, but perfect specimens of the shell are not easily found because of the fragility of the numerous long spines. 10-15cm in length. .
