I have been going to Eleuthera often on for the last 25 years. I have been there maybe eight times and last year was the very first time that I found Strombus pugilis. I have found this species both diving and snorkeling on a dozen other Caribbean islands but seemingly never in the Bahamas. I found one live specimen while snorkeling  off Cape Eleuthera, And I found one dead specimen washed up on a beach near Governors Harbour. I know a lot of you out there in the shell world have been to Eleuthera many times and I was wondering what your experiences were with Strombus pugilis in Eleuthera.
