        The pipihoi are in the sea. They are in the reef, in the green seaweed. When we go fishing, we see (the area) where the white sand has heaps. That's the pipihoi. When we dig the heaps of white sand, we find the pipihoi. The pipihoi have a white body. We don't eat the pipihoi. The pipihoi are similar to the sea-sausage.
