Giant Triton Charonia Tritonis Shell
Charonia Tritonis or Giant Triton is a species of very large sea snail that can reach up to two feet. Found through out the indo-pacific oceans most commonly around reefs where they feed on starfish, including the crown of thorns starfish. This shell is well known as a decorative object and is sometimes modified for use as a trumpet. With beautiful brown markings on a cream background this shell would be a perfect accent or main display piece.

All of our shells are real & unique. The majority of the shells we sell are intended for crafting purposes & are not specimens (unless otherwise specified); meaning that most will show evidence of their lives in the ocean. There may be natural variations such as but not limited to: growth marks, pinpoint holes, chipped points or edges, calcium build up, etc. WE DO NOT SELL “PERFECT” SHELLS- our shells are natural, beautiful, & imperfect.
