underwater leopard...

Yes, sometimes we are so lucky to find an underwater leopard.  They might not be as big as the african cat but is as colourful as that one.
The special thing with this one is that the conch or shell is pure white but what it gave that special colour is its mantle.
When this beautiful snail feels danger immediatly gets in its conch and retract its mantle showing a white shell.
To get this "macro" image, I have to be as steady as a rock because the DOF is very shallow so I need a perfect bouyancy and hold the bulky underwater camera as stiff as I could. The result was this image that I hope you like it.
Enjoy.
Note: It is called "Caracol leopardo" in spanish but in english its called "Flamingo tongue snail"
