I would not touch this species yet - I got several offers in the past weeks, from 500.00 (!) to
10.00...... the differences from dayritiana are not so big to make it worth that much. I guess soon
the market price will be much lower than this.

Assunto: [CONCH-L] Connection between Cypraea dayritiana and C.dani

Hi All.

  Clearly a population of Cypraea called 'Cypraea dani' has been found
judging from the recent offerings.  Obviously this 'species' was recently
found in numbers as I have seen price ranges from well over $120 to $10! Is
this a valid species?  It looks very much like an inflated C. dayritiana
with many specimens darker than typical C. dayritiana.

  Thanks!

Doug
