Flamingo tongue snail (Cyphoma gibbosum). This sea snail feeds on the polyps of corals,sucking them out of their holes with its syphon (not seen). Its shell is a dull beige colour; the bright pattern is carried on the snail's fleshy mantle,which it extrudes and wraps around its shell. The flamingo tongue snail measures between 2 and 4 centimetres. Photographed in the Bahamas,in the Caribbean Sea | |
