Family: Strombidae. Characteristics: Although they may look a
little different, Spider Conchs belong to the same family as the
beautiful Pink Conch. Young Spider Conchs that have yet to
develop their "fingers" look more like members of the cone
family. Once they reach maturity, they develop their spider-like
"fingers" on the outer lip of the shell. Most live in shallow
water, feeding on algae. Spider Conchs are commonly found in the
Indo-Pacific region of the world. Interesting Facts: Females
have longer fingers than the males.
