Spider Shells - Spider Conchs

We carry a wide assortment of spider conchs including the scorpion spider conch which is popular with shell collectors because of the unique combination of rich purple and orange in the aperture.  Also, the orange spider conch is the only spider conch with a bright orange opening. We also carry the lambis millepeda, lambis lambis,  and the seba's spider conch, or Giant Spider Conch shells. These pretty shells are used in coastal home decorating, seashell decor, tropical decorating and in shell baskets as colorful shell accents.   The most interesting and distinctive-looking large marine gastropods are the members of the genus Lambis Spider Conchs of the family Strombidae. Found exclusively in the Indo-Pacific region, its species readily exhibit traits not so easily recognizable in other genera/families. One such trait is sexual dimorphism of shells. The females of some species, Lambis lambis as an example, are generally much larger, have more well developed knobs on the dorsum, and have the spines angled upward . The males of the species are generally much smaller, occasionally much more colorful, less knobby, with the spines being near horizontal. Another very interesting, if not well understood, trait of the genus is the propensity for hybridization.
