EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant underwater snapshot, we witness the flamboyant Flamingo Tongue snail (Cyphoma gibbosum) indulging in a delightful feast on a seafan (Gorgonia ventalina). With its striking orange mantle wrapped around its shell, this little mollusk proudly displays its toxic nature to potential predators. Found in the crystal-clear waters of Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, British West Indies, these Caribbean natives have perfected their survival strategy. By feeding on corals and absorbing their toxins into their mantle, they create an eye-catching warning sign for any would-be attackers. As if that wasn't impressive enough, the Flamingo Tongue also utilizes its colorful mantle to absorb oxygen from the surrounding water. Talk about multitasking! With a backdrop of mesmerizing blue hues and intricate coral patterns, this photo captures not only the beauty but also the fascinating behavior of these marine creatures. It's a true testament to Mother Nature's creativity and diversity.
