Distribution Strombid gastropods live mainly in tropical and subtropical waters. These animals are widespread in the Indo-West Pacific, where most species and genera occur. Nearly 40 of the living species that used to belong to the genus '' Strombus'' can be found in the Indo-Pacific region.Abbott, R.T. (1960). "The genus Strombus in the Indo-Pacific". ''Indo-Pacific Mollusca'' 1(2): 33-144 They also occur in the eastern Pacific and Western Atlantic, and a single species can be found on the African Atlantic coast. Six species of str ...
