Description
The small flamingo tongue snail has a shell, but usually you only see the soft, brightly-colored body wrapped around it. This beautiful snail lives in coral reefs, which is its main source of nutrition in the tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The flamingo tongue snail releases a poison that wards off predators and prepares the coral for digestion.
