  We describe the color-flavor locking (CFL) color superconductor in terms of
bosonic variables, where the gaped quarks are realized as solitons, so-called
superqualitons. We then show that the ground state of the CFL color
superconductor is a $Q$-matter, which is the lowest energy state for a given
fixed baryon number. From this $Q$-matter, we calculate the minimal energy to
create a superqualiton and argue that it is twice of the Cooper gap. Upon
quantizing the zero modes of superqualitons, we find superqualitons have the
same quantum number as the gaped quarks and furthermore all the high spin
states of superqualitons are absent in the effective bosonic description of the
CFL color superconductor.
