Thanks for your help ladies. Joanie, yours is closest to what I saw. Neat animal.

I have the Sealife mini on order. I'll really have to work at fl**ding that camera. Uh-oh. Did I jinx myself?

Yup.

BTW, that is a pic of an alien. IJS

That is a great, but creepy, photo. Was the octo alive and moving when you found it?

He was alive and "in shock" (from the injected nematocysts) from many Fireworms that were all over him. Another diver and I removed some. There is nothing we could have done to save him.

I posted this as education. Before this dive I did not know that Fireworms were predators.

I saw a group of fireworms feeding on an urchin last week. I had no thought they may have killed it - interesting.
