#1 looks like a Penshell.
#2 not sure, maybee Hidden anemone.
#3 too hard to see.
#4 looks like Boga.

Here are others of #3 - can you tell from these? This was taken at night in about 30 feet of water. It was about a foot in diameter.

Sorry - #6 - another anemone

I'll agree with Kukuisa on #1 (pen shell) and #4 (boga).

#2 looks like a giant anemone - Condylactis gigantea
#3 is a maze coral (Meandrina meandrites) with its polyps out
#5 I'm guessing you're asking about the green semi-circles? They look like the macroalga, Lobophora variegata, but the picture isn't really clear enough to get a close look.

#3 Really - are you sure that it is maze coral. I only question because of the strange edge in the lower left of the picture, looks like it is folded up (Though maybe that is the edge of the maze) I have searched the internet for maze coral to see if I could find another with it open but couldn't.

#5 is the the same as Encrusting Fan-Leaf Algae? Here is an enlargement



Oh and #6 didn't upload



Is this also a Giant Anemone - the bulbs at the end look so pronounced.

Thank you for your help!

I think #4 may be Rainbow Runners.

Without a scale, I would go with generic 'Fusiliers' for number 4, but if they are bigger, Rainbow Runners looks good

I think Boga or Bonnet Mouth is correct for #4. They were maybe 6 inches long.

Yes - #3 is a maze coral with polyps out. Try googling "meandrina meandrites, night" - that will turn up a few pictures. As far as the edges, the colony will take on the shape of the substrate on which it's growing.

#5 is Lobophora

#6 also looks like Condylactis - these anemones can be a variety of colors, and sometimes the tentacle tips are more bulbous than others.
