Lyncina lynx (Linnaeus, 1758)
Lynx cowry, 60mm

Lyncina lynx, a common widespread Indo-Pacific cowry, is quite rare in Hawaii. Most specimens we have seen there were from the shallow subtidal reef at Fort Kam near the entrance to Pearl Harbor.

We have also seen Lyncina lynx in the Marshall Islands.
