Doxander operosus 

• Schelp 
• Animalia (Animals) 
• Mollusca 
• Gastropoda 

Extremely elongated shell with pleats down to the last turn. The name "operosus" remained under the radar for a long time until Kronenberg & Wieneke rediscovered this name in ancient literature. This came before the name "apicatus" which was used for this species until now. The name published first must be used, so the name was changed to Doxander operosus. Also a commonly used name for this species is "Strombus turritus" The species is mainly found in West Indonesia to Thailand and can grow up to 100 mm.
