Therefore, the true area inhabited by the rare East-American species probably coincides, to a certain degree, with that of
the three common East-American cowries (zebra, cinerea, acicularis) though it may be a little restricted on its borders.
Probably the exact range of surinamensis is not yet known, as the species evidently inhabits deep water.
It seems as if Strombus hawaiensis may not be as rare as once believed, but it will always be a difficult shell to find. They
bury quite deeply in the sand without any track or trace. The depths at which they are found inject a definite hazard into
diving for them. Such vigorous fanning is required as to place a diver in jeopardy by obscuring himself in a cloud of
sediment. Not [just] any deep coral bottom covered with sand could be considered likely territory for the shells for there
must be a generous supply of filamentous algae for feeding. A second true plant (one having a root system) is also found at
this site and may have some bearing on the matter. Even sand density, depth and granular quality may be important. It appears
quite definitely that the amount and type of rubble present with the sand is an important factor. The shells displayed a
decided tendency to avoid larger rocks while in the aquarium. Much of this mystery remains unsolved making pure luck a
significant constant in the discovery of this beautiful shell.
