Fingerprint Snail

A very attractive snail not often encountered anywhere I have dived except here in St Vincent. I have found as many as five on one small slit-pore sea rod, their gourmet food choice. The color on this critter comes from the mantle of the slug which is extended to cover the plain white shell.
