Dear Collector,

I can only talk about <i>Cypraea lurida </i>which I know prety well.
First of all read this :

1 How rare are they?
Usually Common
2 Do I need to scuba dive?
No
3 Are there locations where you see them for sure?
Yes
4 Do they camouflage/hide that good you can't recognize them easy?
Yes and No. Look at the pictures of the link given. You may sometimes make error versus a gray sponge which looks really the same...
5 Can you find them at crowded and polluted beaches?
Do not know

bye,
DAvid  <span class="petit">--Last edited by david on 2006-09-05 18:53:57 --</span>
