🐅 Tiger Cowry (Cypraea tigris)

Why Reefers Love Them

• Beautiful spotted, glossy shell — instantly eye-catching

• Powerful grazer, helps control algae and detritus

• Hardy, long-lived, and full of character

Care & Behavior

• Size: Up to 6" (most in tanks 2–4")

• Temperament: Peaceful, but can bulldoze small frags when moving around

• Diet: Algae, film, detritus, sponges — supplement with nori & meaty foods

• Tank Size: 100+ gallons recommended

• Reef Safety: Mostly safe, but may pick at soft corals or sponges if underfed

💡 Best for larger reef tanks where it can roam freely without knocking over rockwork.
