Aloha,
I have seen a few true melanistic Cypraea tigris from the Philippines. I did
purchase many years ago a true rostrated Tiger with recurved anterior &
posterior terminals that was collected off Bantayan Isle, North of Cebu in
the Philippine's Visayan area. This was a truly AWESOME specimen. But i've
never seen a specimen both rostrated & melanistic from the Philippines, only
one extremity or the other.      CHRIS:)
