Hexaplex Brassicacommon name Brassica Murex

Hexaplex brassica are sea snails, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.

This species is found offshore in depths to 55 m from Guaymas, in Mexico, south to Peru, and is more commonly indigenous to Costa Rica.

These mollusks prefer moderately shallow water and some species have been found up to 8 inches in size. The shell body has about 8 whorls, each with several rather flattish varices, serrated at the edges and developing into frondlike spines at the shoulders. The Brassica is whitish with a yellow tint, some pinkish shells have been found. Most Brassica Murex have 3 brown bands. The aperture is pinkish.
