Cribrarula gaskoini

Cribrarula gaskoini is a species of sea snail, a cowry, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cypraeidae, the cowries.

This species is distributed along Hawaii and the Fiji Islands.

Fossil evidence and patterns of modern endemism in the central Pacific and Indian Oceans suggest that speciation occurred outside the geographical limits of the Malay Archipelago.

[2] Cribrarula gaskoini from the Hawaiian Islands is clearly related to C. cribraria, which is distributed across the Indo-Pacific region.

[3] Found from shallow waters to depths of around 100 ft (30 m), it resides on cliffs and under ledges, hiding during the day and emerging at night to feed.
