The bright yellow snail inspired its name Cayo margarita — a nod to Jimmy Buffet's song "Margaritaville." Scientists aren't sure why the snail is so yellow but think it may be a defense mechanism. AdvertisementAdvertisementScientists discovered a mysterious new species of sea snail in the Florida Reef, and named it as a tribute to Jimmy Buffet's famous song "Margaritaville." The new species is called "Cayo margarita," according to a paper published by a group of scientists in Peer J journal. But, strangely, when fish approached the bright snail, they didn't eat it.

CNN —The late singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett has an unsuspecting figure to add to his legacy — a newly discovered species of sea snail found in the Florida Reef. “This is a rather charismatic little snail that can show us how little we know about the biological diversity around us,” Bieler said. The little snail’s bright color caught researchers’ attention. The Cayo snails, however, are currently believed to be local and not invasive, Bieler said. “We’re seeing that these worm snails are making good use of this newly freed up real estate because the coral reefs are so stressed.”
