Pteropurpura Festiva
''Pteropurpura festiva'', common name, commonly known as the festive murex, is a species of predation, predatory sea snail, a marine (ocean), marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the rock snails.

Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=743644 on 2019-11-19 This species was previously known as ''Murex festivus''. Because the shell of this sea snail is attractive, and is common in San Diego, the name ''The Festivus'' was used for the San Diego Shell Club publication, which was started in 1970, became a science journal on malacology, and as of 2021 has been published for over 50 years. Description The length of the shell varies between 20 mm and 67 mm. The elongately ovate shell contains six convex Whorl (mollusc), whorls with three low, reflexed Varix ...
