Fusinus colus, common name the Distaff spindle or Long-tailed Spindle, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Fasciolariidae, the spindle snails, the tulip snails and their allies.
The shells of Tibia fusus can reach a length of 15–31 centimetres (5.9–12.2 in) (including the long siphonal canal), with a typical length of 23 cm (9 in.). [5] These shells are large, spindle-shaped with moderately convex turns and an extremely long, thin and slightly curved siphonal canal.
The shells are spindle-shaped and biconic. The spire is elongated. The siphonal canal is well developed and is long to moderately long. The columella varies between a smooth appearance and showing spiral folds. The horny operculum has an oval shape. Their radula is characteristic with narrow central teeth with three cusps. The wide lateral ...

The shell is small and broadly spindle-shaped, sculpted with rounded axial ribs crossed by crisp spiral ridges, with fine intermediary spiral threads in between. Shell width and the prominence of axial ribs are variable. The siphonal canal is relatively short, and the inner lip is not strongly calloused. [2]
