One of the most delicate and exquisite shells of the world belongs to the Venus Comb Murex. The Venus Comb Murex (Murex pecten), also known as the Venus Comb or Murex Shell, is a species of predatory sea snail in the family Muricidae. It is renowned for its strikingly elaborate and elongated shell, which features numerous long, slender spines resembling the teeth of a comb. The shell's color is typically white to pale pink, enhancing its delicate and intricate appearance.

Venus Comb Murexes are found in the Indo-Pacific region, inhabiting rocky and sandy substrates, often in shallow coastal waters. These snails are carnivorous, feeding on other mollusks and small marine organisms. The spines on their shells are believed to help protect them from predators and anchor them in soft substrates.
