It looks awfully rostrate, or beaked, to be a C. tigris, and is very small
for the species, not to mention that the teeth look too small as far as I
can tell from the fuzzy photo.  Looks like a deep-water cowry to me...

Hi Everyone,
   Could some of you experts on cypraea please look at the following URL and
tell me what I am looking at? I have never seen a Cypraea tigris incana
before and a little bit skeptical of this shell. Maybe someone can confirm
my instinct to what it is.
