| The flamingo tongue snail, Cyphoma gibbosum is a marine gastropod, or sea snail, which lives in the tropical waters of the Western Atlantic. It is about one inch (25 mm) long, and it can be observed on various species of soft corals, on which it both lives and feeds. When alive the snail appears orange-yellow in color with black markings. However, this color is only due to the thin flaps of mantle tissue which in life usually cover the plain white, or yellowish-white shell. |
