Some species of the family of Cypraeidae are really small, about 10-14 mm. But even if they are so small there are no discussions on their beauty.
This is an example of tiny Cowries coming from French Polynesia. They are really uncommon, due to the difficulty to find them (so small) inside corals and for the depth to collect them. In the picture you can see (from left to right) Erosaria thomasi, Erosaria bernardi and Cryptocypraea dillwyni.
