A photomontage of several views of the shell of a ramose murex (Chicoreus ramosus), a species of predatory sea snail found in shallow waters of the Indo-West Pacific. The shell is large, up to 330 mm (13 in) in length and coloured white to light brown externally and generally pink towards the inner edge, the outer lip and the columella.Photo: H. Zell
"economically important"
[edit]I figure the "economic importance" is owing to the value of its shell to collectors, but the article doesn't specify.--Wetman (talk) 14:12, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
