Dear James
 
        In response to your question regarding the same chiton species being found
in the West Indies and Florida panhandle, the answer is yes. You can check
out several species that fall into this category by viewing the website
www.chitons.com . Click on the link to Gallery of Chitons and then to East
Coast.  Hope you enjoy this fabulous group of mollusk.
 
        Best regards,
