Remarks | Abundant in all kinds of habitats, especially under rocks in turbid water near vital reefs. Populations living in quiet waters tend to develop thinner, more inflated and less callous shells than those inhabiting rough waters (Ref. 349). Members of the family Cypraeidae are primarily carnivores (Ref. 67623). |
