i got this snail/cowrie a few weeks ago but my lfs didnt know what it was, and i want to research it a bit. it has what looks like orange bumps on the shell and the actual skin had orange bristle like appendages that come out, looks like thorns.

for some reason while i was posting it the forum wouldnt let me post my picture lastnight, lemme give it another shot. BTW, whats bump mean?

 

[jbk65]

bump is someone posting on the thread to move it back up to the top again, so it might get a second look.
I could be wrong, but looks like a standard turbo by the snail, just might be in a cool shell, but don't take my word for it.

bump is to keep the thread up to the top people type bump to keep it there tell they get a anser..

If it is definately a cowrie, could be a Tiger.

 

[romeofoeve]

its not a tiger. because the body had extruding bumps and its skin had flagella or spikes that protrude.
