Hi Flavio,

If lurida is like most of the cowries I've dealt with,
they will do fine in the aquarium as you have it
set up.  You will probably need to go back and
get different rocks with sponges occasionally.

Remember to add distilled water or rain water to
replace the water that evaporates.  If you add
more sea water, it will become too salty and the
cowries will die.

Good luck, cheers,



Don
