Please ID what kind of cowrie in the attached pictures. Are they reef safe?

Thanks

It's a money cowry, Cypraea (Monetaria) moneta. Most people consider them reef safe and think they make great residents.

Cheers,



Don

I've have had one for about a year rarly see it. Comes out like once a month mostly when acting is on. Never hurt anything mostly looks like it grazes.
