David replied:

Thanks, Marlo. I hope to return to doing some Scuba some day soon. My trip
to Brazil was wonderful but it was during their winter so the visibility was
terrible for diving/snorkeling.

David,
Back in the early 80's when I was still doing SCUBA, this shell was not
uncommon in 50-60 feet of water off Palm Beach County.  It was not unusual
to come across several per dive.

Abbott (1974) says "This is a rare species in the Atlantic, but is more
frequently encountered on the west coast of Central America." Evidently, it
is not rare in Brazil; I found one live and one dead in the intertidal zone
in Bahia. Is this really the same species as in the Pacific? Malacolog
doesn't address Pacific occurrence.
