Some of the Taiwanese dealers who handle many C. jeaniana and deep-water C. friendii from their trawlers would be in the best position to finally answer this question. Let us hear from them on this.

Not long ago a friend and I took advantage of the calm beauty. He knows this area and its underwater landscape as well as most of us know the view from the Pali. On this particular morning as we watched the sea and slight swells, we planned our quest for the Cypraea leviathan Schilder. Looking down the sheer rocky steep from 40 feet above, Deane (my diving buddy) pointed out the small cutaway where the leviathans were "holed up." And he ought to know for he had collected C. leviathan from that area on three previous dives. The hole was impossible and fool-hardy to approach from above, but from underwater, after a 10 minute swim, the hide-out was beautifully inviting. In places it looked very much like a wall of narrow brownish-red shelves. Rock ledges formed the layers of shelves that were colored with coral, algae and sponge growth. The chasm was about 25 feet deep at its deepest and the top shelves were just barely below the receding water level. It was on these overhanging ledges that the C. leviathan lived in less than 8 feet of white water. Their coloring blended so well with the coloring of the rock ledges I could not spot them until Deane showed one to me. After that I did find them myself. The shells were wedged tight between the shelves - or had they grown as large as the existing room permitted? Often it was quite a chore to pry them out of the rocky nooks.
