@ggerbasi: 👑 Queen Helmet Conch (Cassis madagascariensis) - Rounder, heavier, and more inflated in shape - Orange to pink interior - Found in Caribbean + Florida sandy bottoms near reefs - Sometimes used for cameos in jewelry 👑 King Helmet Conch (Cassis tuberosa) - More triangular/elongate outline, less rounded - Deep reddish-orange interior - Found in deeper sandy areas (up to ~50m) - Larger on average than the queen Both are predators of sea urchins, helping keep reef ecosystems in balance. Next time you spot one, check the shape and interior color—are you looking at a queen or a king? 👑🐚 #MarineBio #Shells #shelltok #queenhelmetconch #oceantok
