Map cowry - Cypraea (Leporicypraea) mappa

Under a small rock in the center of a large patch of deep lagoon rubble was the unusual find of a juvenile map cowry, Cypraea mappa. The thin shell of a juvenile cowry lacks a distinctive adult pattern, which will be added as a final layer. 2 inches (5cm).
