ABOUT THE MILLIPEDE SPIDER CONCH SEA SHELL:

Lambis Millepeda, also known as the Millipede Spider Conch, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.

The shell is a classic lambis design. The legs are round and short in structure. The color extends from white, sand-colored with light brown shades. The underside has black furrows in the mouth. The size of an adult shell varies between 90-201 mm.

The Millipede Spider Conch occurs in the Indian Ocean off Madagascar and in the Southwest Pacific Ocean.

Strombid gastropods (Conchs) live mainly in tropical and subtropical waters. These animals are widespread in the Indo-West Pacific, where most species and genera occur. Nearly 40 of the living species that used to belong to the genus Strombus can be found in the Indo-Pacific region. They also occur in the eastern Pacific and Western Atlantic, and a single species can be found on the African Atlantic coast. Six species of strombids are found in the wider Caribbean region, including the queen conch Aliger gigas, the goliath conch Titanostrombus goliath, the hawk-wing conch Lobatus raninus, the rooster tail conch Aliger gallus, the milk conch Macrostrombus costatus, the West Indian fighting conch Strombus pugilis, and the Florida fighting conch Strombus alatus.

Snails in the family Strombidae are used by humans in a wide range of ways, mostly as food or decoration. Several species belonging to numerous genera among the Strombidae are considered economically important. Some species have been used in human culture for centuries. Since before the Age of Discovery, strombid shells were used as wind instruments, and were later used in handicrafts, as souvenirs, and even in jewelry. In the Caribbean, Bermuda and southeastern United States, the queen conch Aliger gigas is sought after for its conch pearls, which have been used in jewelry since the Victorian era.
