I beleive the Cypraea is: C.boivinii Kiener,1843 color form, mostly come
from Capul isl.North Western Samar.

Cymatium left side, I have the same species in my coll.wihtout name is
close to Cymatium exaratum (Reeve,1844).
Center is Cymatium grandimaculatum (Reeve,1844)
Right side maybe juvenile specimen ?

You can look in " Indo-West Pacific Ranellidae, Bursidae and Personidae by
Alan Beu " Resultats des Campagnes MURSORSTOM Volume 19.
Sincerely
Emmanuel
