Flamingo Tongue

SeaLife DC1400This is something called a “flamingo tongue.”  Click the picture for a life-sized image.  It’s a kind of sea slug, maybe three inches long, and crawls about on corals eating, I suspect, everything.

I think it looks more like an uncircumcised penis, possibly with a horrific disease, but then I don’t know what an actual flamingo tongue looks like.

I’m speaking from complete ignorance here.  Feel free to pay no attention.
