Shells suppliersShells suppliers As it turned out, tidal differences were rather large here, 15 to 16 ft. and at times even more, as the tide and wind-driven seas pile up high against the continental shore, and the reef gives little protection from heavy rollers from the open ocean, stir up the silty bottom, reducing underwater visibility to zero. This was a profound effect on the local fauna. Living coral is rare inside the lagoon and confined to a few deeper parts with a hard coral substratum. Most of the shallower parts are overgrown with thick algae meadows on which sea-stars in all imaginable colors seem on first sight the predominant form of life, replaced nearer the reef, on rubble bottom, by large colonies of spiny black sea urchins which make walking or swimming at low tide very hazardous. Shells suppliersShells suppliers E. R. Cross, dredging in 300 feet of water off Philippines, Cebu City, brought up one Cypraea semiplota that measured 23.7mm, six C. gaskoini over one inch, and two one-inch Conus acutangulus. That wasn't all, but he stopped telling me about it! One of our old-time diving collectors around Philippines, Cebu City, Bob Guttierez, found himself a sort of "collectee" recently. He had the tip of his fin bitten off by a shark! Bob was checking out an underwater cave for Cypraea tigris and thought his fin had got caught in some coral. He turned in time to see a shark behind him, spitting out a chunk of tasteless fin. He has the fin as a souvenir.
