What is the best time?

Hi,

Effectively, most of seashells go out at night. I noticed that they are mostly active just after the sunset. They do not hunt the whole night (too dangerous) and if they find their prey they go back to their hiding place. I studied them in live and in aquarium. In France, with the cowries, as soon as I turned light off, they were looking for their sponges...

Some species may also be active during daytime too. And shells usually do not go out at night when the moon is full. So the worst days are the ones when the moon is gonna be full. As soon as it decrease to be dark they are active again.

I noticed that when moon is in it's full period shells may go hunting during daytime too (too angry I guess...) and so do not wait dark moon period...

Hope this wil lhelp,
Regards
