Milleped Spider Conch [Lambis millepeda]
Description
Divers may spot this conch tucked into sandy or rubble bottoms, often partially hidden but unmistakable once it’s in view. Its long, spidery shell shape and intricate surface details make it a striking “living sculpture,” usually seen slowly moving along the substrate as it forages.
