Chicomurex laciniatus (Sowerby, 1841)
40mm

A young Chicomurex laciniatus was crawling on an egg mass (of Cymbiola vespertilio?) at the River in Tulamben Bay.

Many murexes aggregate to mate and lay their egg capsules together in a large mass, usually on the undersurface of a rock but sometimes on each other's shells.
