Miters are an attractive group of nearly 500 species from warm & temperate seas.  Hawaii has more than 80 species, most of which occur in dead coral, rubble or sand in deep water.  They may be recognized by the narrow aperture and several prominent folds on the inner axis or columella.  Miters are carnivorous, preying upon worms, sipunculids, and mollusks.
