Erronea errones (Linnaeus, 1758)
Erroneous cowry, 23.25mm
A
single specimen was reportedly found on the intertidal reef north of Kwajalein
in the early 1970s. I did not see the shell so cannot confirm the ID. However,
the species was common on the shallow reef below The Village Hotel on Pohnpei
in the early 2000s, which is where the photos below were taken. Pohnpei is roughly
1000km west of Kwajalein Atoll.
