The shell is quite elongated, conical or vase-shaped (hence the common name). There are blunt spines at the shoulder and near the base. The shell is off- white with black or dark brown periostracum externally, while the aperture is usually white. The columella has 5 strong folds, the first and third being the largest.[3]Distribution[edit]This species is widespread in the Caribbean Sea. In Venezuela this species has been reported from the state of Falcon,[4] Nueva Esparta[5][6][7] and Dependencias Federales.[8]Habitat[edit]This species is rather common and is often found in pairs in shallow water. It preys on worms and clams.[9]Gallery[edit]References[edit]^ a b MolluscaBase eds. (2023). MolluscaBase. Vasum muricatum (Born, 1778).
