Low	This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.
Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

Chicoreus pomum

On the Eustrombus gigas page, Chicoreus pomum is referred to as the formal name for Apple Murex. I doubt this, and I want to know if anyone can confirm that this is correct, I will post a note on that article's talk page too. But I am posting the following info here because, if "Apple Murex" is indeed "Chicoreus pomum"... then this info can be incorporated into this article maybe.

"The Apple Murex. Shell fusiformly oblong, thick, soiïd, very rough throughout, transversely conspicuously ridged, tuberculated between the varices ; three-varicose, varices tuberculated with a complicated mass of laminae ; fulvous or reddish brown, columella and interior of the aperture ochraceous yellow, columellar lip slightly wrinkled, edge erected, vividly stained, especially at the upper part, with very black brown ; outer lip strongly toothed, ornamented with three black-brown spots ; canal rather short, compressed, recurved."^[1]

Thanks for the original description by Reeve. Yes, Chicoreus pomum was the previous name that was correctly used for Phyllonotus pomum. However now the subgenus Phyllonotus has been elevated to genus level, and that causes Chicoreus pomum to be counted as a synonym, as you will see if you look at the bottom of the taxobox for that species.
