Summary edit

Description

Cypraeidae (Cowry family) Chun's Reef, Oʻahi, Hawaiian Islands 30+ feet My very last Tiger. 4 1/2 inches

NOTE: I have not collected live shells since the mid-1970's. I believe that the animal itself is much more valuable alive than destroyed for its shell. It is for this reason that I will only collect beach/forest shells from deceased specimens.
