| Bonjour
de Nelle-Calédonie, Amateur de porcelaines nigers et rostrées voici quelques photos prises dans leur biotope naturel. Ces coquilles ont été trouvées sur des récifs devant Nouméa sur des fonds ne dépassant 3 metres. Cyp. eglantina / Cyp. stolida / Cyp. helvola |


| Seeing
a niger cowrie is rather easy because the intense glossy black contrasts
with the surrounding colors.But it's very difficult to find C. Stolida whose pale yellow mantle blends with its natural habitat.It's necessary to have well-trained eyes, especially for this one.. |

Just on

After
undressing

The first
in the middle, the second perpendicular
The biggest
after half-undressing We distinguish only the rear for the second
one always fully covered due to bad photo centring (in the middle below)
Fully
black in its hiding place

Walk out its hole
