Cyphoma
''Cyphoma'' is a genus of predatory tropical sea snails, a taxonomic group of marine gastropod molluscs in the family Ovulidae, a family which is sometimes known as the false cowries or cowry allies. Distribution Cyphoma snails live in tropical oceans and seas. Habitat Species in this genus live on sea whips and sea fans. Life habits Cyphoma snails feed by grazing on the sea fans or sea whips which they inhabit. The males can be territorial, defending part of the sea fan from encroachment by other males. Species Species within the genus ''Cyphoma'' include: * '' Cyphoma arturi'' Fehse, 2006 * '' Cyphoma aureocinctum'' ( Dall, 1889) - gold-line cyphoma * '' Cyphoma cassidyae'' Lorenz, 2020 * ''Cyphoma christahemmenae'' (Fehse, 1997) * '' Cyphoma eludens'' Lorenz & J.

Flamingo Tongue Snail
The flamingo tongue snail (''Cyphoma gibbosum'') is a species of small but brightly colored sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Ovulidae, the cowry allies. Distribution This is the most common of several species in the genus ''Cyphoma'', which lives in the tropical waters of the western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to northern coast of Brazil, including off Bermuda, in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, and off the Lesser Antilles . Three species of ''Cyphoma'', known as ''Cyphoma gibbosum'', ''Cyphoma signatum'' and ''Cyphoma mcgintyi'' have been found to be genetically similar even though their phenotypes suggest otherwise. The species of ''Cyphoma signatum'' and ''Cyphoma mcgintyi'' can be distinguished from their different patterns; whether having a fingertip pattern or brown dots. However, if these two species were being distinguished based on their morphological features, it would be difficult to differentiate them. The genotype of these sp ...
