Fighting Conch

 

Fasciolaria hunteria Common in shallow grassy bays. Harder to find along the beach as it likes the grass flats that are in the bay. Up to 3"

 

Below you can see the great variation in color of the fighting conch

This is a juvenile fighting conch. It can sometimes be tough to identify because it is so different from an adult one. A lot of the seashell books do not picture it.
