Reishia clavigera is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.[2]
This species has been found to be useful as an indicator of the environmental contamination levels of arsenic, copper, and zinc.
Distribution
[edit]This is an intertidal species, found on rocky shores in Malaysia, Singapore and Indo-China; also off Japan.
