It’s best to call them seashells or living mollusk. As all sea shells have different families and names assigned to each variety with in the families. A bit confusing! For now the whelk you are displaying is a channeled whelk. The conch you showed and asked for help in identifying is what I believe is murex called the Florida Lace Murex. Hope this has been useful.
Gig, I sent you photos of whelk pots we use up here in RI. I was hoping you would make a couple and catch a few whelk. The best way to cook whelk is to get the meat out of the shell and put it in a pressure cooker for 45 minutes. Make a seafood salad with shrimp, whelk, squid, lobster, celery, olive oil, hot pepper seeds, oregano, garlic, pepper and salt. Give it a try.
Wow, you are into everything! The "around guy!" I have a few of those shells too.
Wow very interesting and informative . I had no idea they were even different
Back in the early 70s in my 1st school we had them type of shells and the teacher said if you put them to your ear you can hear the sea. 😊🇬🇧
I have conchs in my saltwater tank, but they are only about a inch long and hide in the sand bed, and come out to eat they go back in the sand bed
I like the mini course on conchs and whelks :)
Hey, Gigmaster!! I loved the info that you gave but I just have to say SeaShells myself too!!! Thanks

Those are beautiful shells!! It's fine to call them conchs; they're all conchs to us normal people.

I think pots are illegal down here?
The day I stop learning will be a very boring day. Thanks for making this more interesting.
