Eight captive-laid egg masses of hawk wing conch, Strombus raninus, were used to describe egg mass
characteristics, growth rate, and shell morphology of larvae and early juveniles. The egg strand diameter was 357.3 ±
7.8 µm; the egg capsule diameter was 129 ± 7.0 µm; the number of egg capsules per mm was 19 ± 1.4; and the number
of eggs per coil of strand was three. Hatching occurred three to four days after the egg mass was laid. The larval shell was 147.0 ± 86.3 µm, and metamorphic competence occurred at 46 days.
