Horned Helmet (Cassis cornuta) トウカムリ – size 30cm
Horned Helmets are large. They live in the sand where they eat Heart Urchins. I used to find a lot of these when I was guiding dive tours. I didn’t carry a camera back then. I didn’t have a camera this time too. I did have one on my boat, so I took it up for some pictures before taking it back down. Kauai 2003
This was probably the smallest Horned Helmet shell that I have ever found. I brought it up for a quick photo. Kauai 2003
