Hello Helmut,

Cypraea tigris are not difficult to keep. If you have a good lighting
source such as Metal Halide lamps. If you do not want pay too much please
use two good tubes. They mainly eat green algae in your aquarium. I keep
two living tigris for more than 2 years. Stones are ok for their crawling.
