Background : Murex is the name given to a group of medium to large sized carniverous tropical sea snails. Many of the species are found in Indo-Pacific waters in intertidal zones among rocks.

The dye often called “Royal Purple” was made from the mucus of selected species of Murex. This costly dye was used for royal and ceremomial robes.
