Description

A shell of Fulgoraria rupestris

The size of an adult shell varies between 70 mm and 146 mm. [2] The oblong-fusiform shell has a yellowish flesh-color, with zigzagged longitudinal chestnut lines. The spire is moderately elongated, terminating in a papillary summit with the apex lateral, instead of central and vertical as usual in spiral shells. The surface is plicate longitudinally, crossed by engraved revolving lines. There are six or seven columellar plaits. The outer lip is thickened within, its margin slightly crenulate. The interior of the aperture has also a flesh-color. [4] [5]

Life cycle

Embryos develop into free-swimming planktonic marine larvae (trocophore) and later into juvenile veligers.
