Lentigo pipus are extremely rare in the Marshalls, known from this single pair of specimens from a shallow lagoon reef in the northern half of Kwajalein Atoll found on 13 August 2006. They were at a depth of about 5m on rubbly sand, and both measured close to 54mm in length. This species is known from sporadic locations throughout much of the Indo-Pacific, but I don't believe it has previously been reported from Micronesia.
The shell above appears to be older, with a thicher ventral nacre, than the one below.
Like other strombs, the proboscis can stretch way out looking for its algae food.
The bottom photos was captured from video.
