Description
Shells of Cymbiola nobilis can reach a length of 50–222 millimetres (2.0–8.7 in), with an average size of six centimeters. Females tend to be larger than the males. These fairy large, thick and heavy shells are glossy, with plaits on the columella. They have a wide variety of patterns. The shell colour may be beige, orange or yellow with a zig-zag red or brown pattern. Sometimes these shalls are completely black. The fleshy body of the snail is black with bright yellow or orange spots. Pigment producing cells infect nearby cells so that they also produce pigment. Cells that are infected once become immune to producing pigment again. As a result, the coloring of the snail's shell forms the characteristic pattern.
