A striking Radish Murex (Muricanthus radix) in bold black and white. Jet-black spiky frills sweep over a clean white ground, with a short spire and a white aperture. At 113mm this is a large specimen — a dramatic, sculptural display shell. Often confused with the black murex (Muricanthus nigritus), but radix shows more white and a less oblong shell.
