Best of Mike #316

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.
