Cypraea lutea johnsonorum is rare at Kwajalein, occasionally found under dead tabletop coral on lagoon pinnacles. Unlike many other molluscs, cowrie shells are extremely shiny and smooth because the thin mantle constantly covers and protects the shell, and secrets the calcium carbonate that forms the shell. The red and white multi-branch projections from the mantle are called papillae and are equipped with sensory cells that may be able to react to chemical and tactile stimuli.
