Lambis lambis
The Arthritic Spider Conch - Lambis lambis is a species of large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs. Pic#1 is the underside of the conch, which I turned over to take this picture to show some delicate markings on the shell. Pic#2 is the top side, showing its colouration that is well camouflage among its surrounding.

You're welcome Albert. Everyone will fall for the beautiful underside of this shell although the camouflaged top is the most interesting:-) There are so many noticeable marine organisms at the moment on Project Noah from you and other contributors that we could have an entire week of underwater SOTDs! Maybe let's do that :-)
Thanks, @DrNamgyal and @Daniele for your kind comments and appreciation.
I know from souvenir shops selling Sea Shells that the underside of the shells can be very beautiful, thus has no choice but to turn it over to get the picture in Pic#1.
I like the the pictures side by side Albert! Great camouflage.
Wow!
