Philippines shells pill boxPhilippines shells pill box May 21 Up early (well, fairly early; some of the young-at-heart tested Lahaina's delights after we anchored last night) for a dive on beautiful clean white sand and coral rubble, only a few hundred yards off the Lahaina small boat harbor. Olive has a fine Terebre strigilata, Gordon a large Cypraea sulcidentata, Tom a small C. tessellata, and Bob a fine Harpa major. Philippines shells pill boxPhilippines shells pill box Cate also stresses the rarity of C. chinensis in Philippines and that it occupies a different ecological niche as compared with specimens of C. chinensis in other localities. C. chinensis is rare in Australia, and extremely rare in Fiji. C. chinensis had been dredged in Sydney harbor from deep water. Dr. A. Kay pointed out in one of her papers the reasons for the shift in ecological habitat of Philippines Cypraea as compared with shells of the same species from other Pacific localities. Not only C. chinensis but the majority of Philippines Cypraea have a different benthic range as compared with Cypraea from other parts of the Pacific region. Ecological habitat of a given species of Cypraea may vary in a locality as small as Fiji: C. mappa viridis is usually found in shallow water in Fiji, however, in one locality C. mappa lives only at a depth of 30 feet, and is never collected in shallow water.
