	Strombus costatus - An Elusive Common Species
		These include the well-known Strombus gigas (Pink or Queen Conch), Strombus costatus (Milk Conch), Strombus raninus (Hawk-wing Conch), Strombus alatus (Florida Fighting Conch), Strombus pugilis (West Indian Fighting Conch), and much rarer Strombus gallus (Rooster-tail Conch).
		Strombus gigas were likewise not uncommon, although fully developed adults were much less common probably due in no small part to the widespread collecting by tourists who were unaware of its illegality and that it could result in a hefty fine.
		Strombus costatus (both dead and alive) were very plentiful at depths between 15-20 feet.
