[Notocypraea]

G'day Felix,

many thanks for your new article.
very interesting to see the live Cypraea valentia pictures.
Did you by chance manage to dive and see one insitu & collect a specimen yourself?

I think valentia would truly be one of the most amazing Cypraea to see insitu. An amazing looking species.

It's been almost 12 mnths since my last tropical diving... getting itchy to do some more. Have a short trip to Fiji coming up in December with my wife (mainly for her to do the famous shark dives at Beqa). I guess my chances of seeing an aurantium insitu are pretty low! Maybe my wife will find another fresh dead specimen. Ha!

I'll dream of valentia tonight!
