Common name: Murex Snails

The Muricidae family, commonly known as Murex Snails or Rock Snails, is a diverse group of predatory sea snails. They are known for their ornate and often spiny shells, which can be quite striking in a reef aquarium. Muricidae snails are carnivorous, feeding on other mollusks and sometimes on fish, so they should be added to a tank with caution. They can be beneficial in controlling populations of certain pests, but their predatory nature must be considered to ensure compatibility with other tank inhabitants.
