I've tried to narrow it down as far as I can before my post. my reasearch on http://www.gastropods.com/Taxon_page...YPRAEIDAE.html has led me to these possibilities. Please help

Dog-Rose/Eglantine Cowry (Cypraea Mauritia eglantina)
Asiatic Arabica (Cypraea Mauritia arabica asiatica)
Huge Arabian (Cypraea Mauritia arabica immanis)

i actually have the same snail, when i got it from the lfs i was told by the sign, not the owner, that it was an arabian but there were other snails in the tanks so i dunno??? i love how he cleans his shell
