Jorge,
Your description is a perfect description of Cypraea clandestina!
However, you don't find Cypraea clandestina in the Caribbean, unless
someone dropped it there!  If your specimen is truly a caribbean
species, the only thing it could be at that size would be an immature
Cypraea spurca acicularis, but I don't think that species has zig-zag
lines, even when immature!  Strange!
