Description
Seashells are the jewels of the sea and inspire art and wonder. The Cameo Helmet seashell is a favorite among collectors for their beauty and unique characteristics!
The Cameo Helmet, Cypraecassis rufa, is also called Bull Mouth, Grinning Mouth or Red Helmet. Their thick heavy shells are used in making cameos.
The helmets snails are distinguished from the conchs by their flipped up rims along their openings, and short spires. Usually, their knobs along the whorls are blunt. The undersides have markings that resemble teeth and a wide lid bears faint wide stripes. They feed on sea urchins and other echinoderms at night.
Size: Up to 7.5 in, 19 cm
Habitat: Tropical sandy coastlines as deep as 40 ft or 12 m
Range: Indo-Pacific Southeast Africa Coastline to Northern Australia and New Guinea
