Muricidae

a family of marine gastropod mollusks of the subclass Prosobranchia. The shell is spirally wound, often with thorn-like or needle-like processes. The mantle contains a pair of glands, whose secretions were used in antiquity to obtain Tyrian purple for dyeing textiles. Muricidae are most numerous in tropical and subtropical seas; in the USSR there are several species in the Black, Far Eastern (the genus Rapana), and Northern seas. All Muricidae are predators, boring into the shells of other mollusks with an acid secretion (saliva) and eating their bodies.
