This Cowrie shell was about the size of my fist. Curious to see whether or not there was as sea snail living inside I flipped the shell over.
To my surprise the shell still had its resident living inside. At first its eyes and countless little white tentacles were hidden, but as I floated above they slowly came out. While the waves pushed me back and fourth I tried to catch a close up and on my third try was able to snap this picture.
