The Triplofusus giganteus, common name the Florida horse conch, range in size from 10 inch to 13 inches in size. Triplofusus papillosus, previously known as Pleuroploca gigantea, common name the Florida horse conch, is a species of extremely large predatory subtropical and tropical sea snail in the family Fasciolariidae, the spindle snails, tulip snails and their allies. Although known as a horse conch, this is not a true conch,, as it is not in the family Strombidae.
This species is the largest gastropod in the American waters, and one of the largest gastropods in the world. The shell color is bright orange in very young individuals. The shell often becomes greyish white to salmon-orange when adult, with a light tan or dark brown exterior. These beautiful large seashells are used in coastal home decorating and seashell decor. The horse conch is the official state seashell of Florida. All of our horse conchs are real, beautiful and imperfect. They will have natural imperfections from living in the ocean and aging.
