In addition to the other species of its genus, Busicon contrarium is left-coiled as a special feature in the kingdom of mollusks, which also earned it the name left-coiled whelk. The species lives in the intertidal zone and likes to live in the area of estuaries. Their range extends from New Jersey in the north to the Gulf of Mexico in the south. The specimen is ground at the mouth edge and the knots on the last whorl are partially unrolled.
