Details
Maximum size: about 31 cm. Appearance: Western Atlantic, from the United States to Brazil, entire Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. This shell is often eaten in the Caribbean countries. Nowadays the lip must be 15 mm thick before they can be harvested in certain countries. It is the only species in the family that is on the Cites list and may therefore not be traded. Linnaeus has introduced 2 names for this species. He used the name Strombus lucifer for the young specimens and is therefore synonymous with gigas.

Maximale grootte: ca 31 cm.
Voorkomen: Westelijke Atlantische oceaan, van de Verenigde Staten tot aan Brazilië, gehele golf van Mexico en Caraïbisch gebied.
Deze schelp wordt vaak gegeten in de Caraïbische landen. Tegenwoordig moet de lip 15 mm dik zijn voor ze mogen geoogst worden in bepaalde landen. Het is de enige soort in de familie die op de Cites lijst staat en dus niet mag verhandeld worden.
Linnaeus heeft voor deze soort 2 namen geïntroduceerd. De naam Strombus lucifer gebruikte hij voor de jonge exemplaren en is dus synoniem aan gigas.
