Cowrie Trivia magnidentata
This cowrie was observed at Justin's Caves. This species, and related ones, can be found regularly along the Atlantic side, and seem especially common at Coral Gardens. Described as occuring from 20 to 50 m depths, they can be found in waters shallower than that. They are usually found on compound tunicates (ascidians), on which they feed.
