Clavus canalicularis, common name the ear turrid, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae.[1][2]
The shell grows to a length of 27 mm.
The white shell shows a broad chestnut band below the periphery. The tuberculations of the periphery are often long and spinose. Usually a revolving row of nodules appears below the middle of the body whorl.[3]
