Abstract
The True Tulip, Fasciolaria tulipa (Linnaeus, 1758), is a predator of marine gastropods and bivalves. In this work, the predation of Turbo castanea (Gmelin, 1791) by F. tulipa is recorded for the first time in Cuba. The record is photographed in the sub-littoral of Sardinero beach in Santiago de Cuba.
