The maximum recorded shell length is 110 mm [1] or up to 130 mm, [2] commonly to 90 mm. Like other species in the same genus, Strombus pugilis has a robust, somewhat heavy and solid shell, with a characteristic stromboid notch.
The shell can be as large as 112 mm (4.4 in). [1] [3] This species is closely similar to Strombus pugilis, the West Indian fighting conch, which has a more southerly range. S. alatus shells have less prominent subsutural spines and slightly more projected outer lips. Some scientists have treated the two as distinct species; others as subspecies ...

The shell of this species is extremely variable in terms of the degree of spiny ornamentation. Some shells are much smoother than others. These snails can be as large as about 5 in (12 cm) long, and are mostly dark brown with irregular bands of white or cream, but an overall light-color yellow form, without banding, is also known.
Giant Macrocypraea cervus – Florida. This species is one of the largest cowries. It is quite similar in shape and colour to Macrocypraea cervinetta, but it is much larger. The maximum recorded shell length is 190 millimetres (7.5 in), while minimum length is about 40 millimetres (1.6 in).
The shell of this species can be about 6 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long (maximum reported size reaches 9.1 cm [2]). It is a smooth, shiny, cylindrical-shaped shell with a short spire. The aperture is narrow and extending almost the length of shell, continuing around the bottom and ending in a notch on the other side. The suture is V-cut and deep.
Shells of Hexaplex fulvescens can reach a size of 60–223 millimetres (2.4–8.8 in). [2] These snails are massive and spinose and they are the largest muricid snails of the Western Atlantic (hence the common name). [3]
