STROMBIDAE
Guam is well represented by this popular family with five species of spider conchs and sixteen conchs. The family is undergoing a bit of a shake-up as the understanding of relationships improves. The subgenera will likely end up being raised to genus level as studies progress. Please note that Terebellum terebellum is under the family Seraphidae.
