| Item | # 0003383946 |
| Family | Cypraeidae |
| Name | Zoila jeaniana aurata , L. Raybaudi, 1979 |
| Size | 64.9 mm |
| Locality | False Entrance, WA |
| Note | Way back in 2012 we found four Cypraea that were very like hirasei. I am now 76yo and seriously thinking of retiring but wish to tie up some loose ends before I do. One of those is to find more cf hirasei specimens and get them looked at again. In May and June 2024 we spent a week revisiting the area and collected a limited number of additional specimens.
As a by product we collected some aurata. Unfortunately there are huge numbers of pink snapper at this location and they love to play "munch the cowrie". This specimen was found crawling on sand in a sponge garden in 205 metres of water west of False Entrance during May 2024. As can be seen in the photos it has not escaped the attention the snapper hordes. It has small healed siphon chips and dorsal nacre chips. Fine. |
