Chicoreus zululandensis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.[1]

Description

It shows many visible similarities with Chicorius palmarosae and Chicorius banksii. A South Africa report said that it could measure approximately 28 mm. It is dark red with light-colored yellow lines.

Distribution

Its scientific name, Chicorius zululadensis, comes from the fact that it is only found in South Africa, specifically near the Zulula town.
