Appearance: Tiger Cowries are characterized by their glossy, egg-shaped shells, which are typically white or pale with dense dark brown or black spots.
Habitat: These large sea snails inhabit warm reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific Ocean.
Self-Polishing: The shell's characteristic glossy appearance is due to the constant motion of the snail's mantle covering and uncovering the shell, which acts as a self-polishing mechanism.
Historical Significance: Historically, cowrie shells, including the Tiger Cowrie, have been used as currency and symbols of wealth, fertility, and destiny in various cultures.
