Shell bitShell bit Cypraea pantherina Lightfoot, 1870 This beautiful sea shell is very common in Jeddah and can be found all along the coast of the Red Sea (Arabian Side). It lives in and around rocky areas where there is a lot of dead coral or rock slabs. They are also found in brain coral. They seek nooks and holes to hide in during the day. The usual habitat is in water from 1 to 15 feet. They can be taken on the reef or in the more quiet waters closer to shore or on bottom that is sandy with small, scant seaweed clumps. Shell bitShell bit The care and feeding of veligers after capture is time-consuming, and refurbishment of the culture dishes must be accomplished every two days. Each small petri dish should be provided with 2-3 drops of a mature, but not dense, culture of Phaeodactylum tricornutum3 a golden diatom, or with the same amount of another acceptable culture. Clean, smooth coral chips with a thin covering of algae were provided to induce settlement; also, some clean, fine sand was included to insure an ion system favorable for shell deposition. The sea water should be renewed with the stored, filtered sea water every 48 hours to prevent build-up of detrimental protozoan and bacterial populations, to renew the oxygen supply and to eliminate waste products.
