Conomurex luhuanusConomurex luhuanus, commonly known as the strawberry conch or tiger conch, is a species of medium-sized sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs. C. luhuanus is found in sandy habitat among corals in the Indopacific region. They feed on algae or detritus, move with a modified foot, and have complex eyes compared to other gastropods. The shell of C. luhuanus ranges from a more common length of 5 cm, to a maximum length of 8 cm. C.
Titanostrombus goliathTitanostrombus goliath, previously known as Lobatus goliath and Strombus goliath, common name the goliath conch, is a species of very large edible sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs. T. goliath is one of the largest mollusks of the Western Atlantic Ocean, and also one of the largest species among the Strombidae. It was once considered endemic to Brazil, but specimens have also been recently found in the waters of Barbados.
Lobatus gallusAliger gallus, previously known as Strombus gallus, common name the rooster conch or rooster-tail conch, is a species of medium-sized sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs. This species is found from southeast Florida and Bermuda through the West Indies and south to Brazil. The average shell length of this species is about 12.5 cm. The maximum recorded shell length is 197 mm. The minimum recorded depth for this species is 0.3 m.; the maximum recorded depth is 82 m.
Terebellum terebellumTerebellum terebellum, common name the Terebellum conch, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Seraphsidae, the true conchs. T. terebellum is a very active animal that can quickly bury itself in sand or swim away from danger. It uses its foot like a propeller to swim. Its shell is thin and fragile. T. terebellum are found throughout the Indo-Pacific region. The phylogenetic relationships among the Stromboidea have been accessed in 2005, by Simone.
StrombusStrombus est un genre de mollusques marins de la classe des gastéropodes. Le nom de genre vient du grec , « tourbillon, toupie, fuseau ; objets en spirale », utilisé par Linné pour désigner la « conque marine », en référence à la forme de la coquille. Ce genre très emblématique (les fameuses « conques ») a longtemps compté de très nombreuses espèces, mais les classifications modernes comme ont récemment redistribué une grande partie de celles-ci dans d'autres genres de la même famille, comme Conomurex ou Lentigo.
Lobatus raninusLobatus raninus, common name the hawk-wing conch, is a species of medium to large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs. The maximum recorded shell length is 121 mm or up to 130 mm. Like other species in the same genus, Lobatus raninus has a robust, somewhat heavy and solid shell, with a distinct stromboid notch. The body whorl is dorsally ornamented by characteristic coarse spiral ridges. The posterior expansion of the flaring outer lip is always lower than the spire.
StrombidaeLes Strombidae sont une famille de mollusques gastéropodes de l'ordre des Littorinimorpha. Les espèces de cette famille sont généralement appelées, selon les espèces, , ou . La plupart des espèces connues de cette famille sont des fossiles, leur solide coquille leur assurant une bonne préservation dans le sédiment. thumb|upright=1.3|Un strombe scorpion (Lambis scorpius) vivant, à Mayotte.
Lobatus gigasLobatus gigas (le strombe géant ou lambi) est une espèce de mollusque marin trouvé en zone équatoriale et tropicale de l'Atlantique ouest, notamment aux Antilles et en Floride. Pouvant atteindre et , il consomme des algues et divers débris végétaux. Cette espèce a beaucoup régressé en raison de la surpêche pour la consommation humaine et parfois pour l'usage décoratif de sa coquille. Il est maintenant classé comme espèce menacée et partiellement protégé par la Convention de Washington : commerce fortement limité et placé sous le contrôle des douanes dans les Antilles françaises, par exemple.
ConchConch (kɒŋk,_kɒntʃ) is a common name of a number of different medium-to-large-sized sea snails. Conch shells typically have a high spire and a noticeable siphonal canal (in other words, the shell comes to a noticeable point at both ends). In North America, a conch is often identified as a queen conch, indigenous to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. Queen conches are valued for seafood and are also used as fish bait. In the United States, a rule has been proposed to list the queen conch's conservation status as threatened.
