About Yellow Pacific Cone
HCRI Final Report records Conus flavidus at Kauaʻi stations KARA2, KARA3, and KARA7; iNaturalist adds Lawai Beach (1999) and Princeville (2007) observations.
WoRMS AphiaID 215518 lists Conus flavidus as accepted.
HCRI stations are explicit Kauaʻi reefs at 1-10.5 m, securely within shallow-nearshore scope.
Multiple station-level Kauaʻi reef detections plus island photographs and accepted taxonomy warrant green inclusion. Reconciled rule: undated expert occurrence or community observations do not independently establish CURRENT status.
