Vendhan Lambis lambis, a common name the spider conch, is a species of large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
The shell length for this species is up to 13 cm. Lambis lambis has a very large, robust, and heavy shell. One of its most striking characteristics is its flared outer lip, ornamented by six hollow marginal digitations.
These digitations present subtle differences in shape between genders in this species, as the three anteriormost digitations are short and posteriorly bent in male individuals, and longer and dorsally recurved in females.
The color of the shell is highly variable, being white or cream externally and often presenting brown, purplish, or bluish-black patches. The interior is glazed and may be pink, orange, or purple. Buy Here.
