Spindle Cowry (Phenacovolva sp.) laying eggs on blanch of a gorgonian. Owase, Mie, Japan - stock photo

Spindle Cowrie (Phenacovolva sp.) tubular shells covered with the beautiful mantle. It is often seen in a branch of Gorgonians. So that the color of the mantle is the same as its host color, it seems that the blue color mass is its eggs. When the spindle cowrie is surprised, it pulls its mantle in the shell immediately. And a slippery shining appears smooth. It is unexpectedly sensitive. Hitotsu-ishi point, Owase, Mie, Japan
