The Rapaninae, including purples and drupes, are a group of muricid gastropods with thick and solid, often strongly sculptured shells that lack true varices, and a horny operculum with a lateral nucleus. Most species feed on barnacles, bivalves and other molluscs, often by boring a hole through the prey's shell (Wilson & Gillett 1971).

Coralliophilinae

Coralliophila neritoidea, copyright Philippe Bourjon.

Belongs within: Muricidae.

The Coralliophilinae, coral shells, are a group of gastropods that live in close association with cnidarians such as corals, attached to the surface or embedded within the coral skeleton. Members of this family lack a radula (Wilson & Gillett 1971) and have a protoconch with an ornament of hemispherical tubercles overlain and connected to each other by a wrinkled net of lamellae (Bandel & Dockery 2012). They are believed to feed on fluids or mucus from their cnidarian host. In the genus Magilus, the shell becomes uncoiled after the first few whorls and forms an irregular tube.

Siratus

Siratus senegalensis, copyright Manuel Caballer.

Belongs within: Muricidae.

Siratus is a genus of muricid gastropods found in the western Atlantic, characterised by shells with three spinose varices, a long, dorsally deflected siphonal canal, no labral tooth, and usually a pattern of brown and white spiral bands (Vokes 1990).

Muricidae

Candelabrum trophon Boreotrophon candelabrum, copyright Worldwide Conchology.

Belongs within: Neogastropoda.
Contains: Pterynotus, Axymene, Terefundus, Poirieria, Typhinae, Muricopsis, Favartia, Murexiella, Coralliophilinae, Ocenebra, Nucella, Trophon, Rapaninae, Dermomurex, Pteropurpura, Murex, Chicoreus, Siratus.

The Muricidae are a group of predatory marine gastropods that often possess strongly developed varices on the shell that may bear prominent spines, flanges or other ornaments. Members possess an accessory boring organ in the sole of the foot that secretes a compound used to soften the shells of mollusc prey, allowing the muricid's radula to erode a hole through the shell. They also produce a purple secretion from the hypobranchial organ used in defense. Within the Muricidae, members of the subfamily Muricinae are characterised by a long, straight siphonal canal and spinose or frondose varices. The Trophoninae have a similarly elongate siphonal canal but possess numerous laminate varices. The Trophoninae and the related subfamily Ocenebrinae have a similar rachidian tooth morphology but Ocenebrinae (which include forms both with and without varices) have bifid marginal teeth at maturity. Ergalatax is a genus with a short fusiform shell with a short canal and rounded axial ribs overlain by spiral lirae.
