Information about Cypraea pyrum and spurca Habitat

[david touitou]

Hello Jose,

Thanks for these informations. Effetively friends of mine collected this specie in the same conditions you talked about in your area. Though it seems that in France the specie favour much deeper waters starting deeper than 20m. I have datas from 25m to 40m. My cousin found a very fresh dead huge one in 28m near crevices. During these 2 years we dove from 10 to 20m night and day and we never saw any specimen, even dead. But we spoted hundreds of <i>lurida</i> and <i>spurca</i>. I do think in my area the species live much deeper.

All the  best,
DAVID
