The Flamingo Tongue is cowrie.
They have a shell that is a lustrous shell that is reddish cream to white in color. That shell is then covered with a mantle that provides the orange, somewhat rectangular spots, outlined in black.
This one is most probably a juvenile as it has only a few spots.
They like to feed on gorgonians.... such as the one we see this guy hangjng on now.
