Murex canistrum Lichtenstein, 1794
The purple aperture, the five spines and the yellow outer coloration of the shell suggest a member of the genus Drupa (Muricidae) . However, the overall shell shape of Drupa is not elongated (“tail like”), but rather globular. No dimensions were provided. Accordingly, this identification at the generic level is highly tentative, and the epithet is a nomen dubium.
