Help identify??
I dove the bridge the other week with a guide from Pura Vida and had an awesome/eye-opening experience. I'm still trying to learn all the different types of marine life and was hoping someone might be able to help me out with the following images. I'll take a shot, but please correct me if I'm wrong
Anemone
Batfish
Blenny?
Is there a specific name for this coral?
Sharptail eel
Scorpion Fish
Odd looking stingray?
Small moray eel
?

Port plans emergency dredging Tuesday
A contractor with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is scheduled to begin dredging by noon, according to Port spokeswoman Julie Houston Trieste. The contractor will operate over a 24-hour period to complete the maintenance work, which involves lights and noise, she said.
The Lake Worth Inlet has experienced severe shoaling over the past several weeks, prompting the Palm Beach Pilots’ Association to issue draft restrictions last week. Boats can’t sink below 25 feet in some areas.
Contractors, who will be working east of Peanut Island, plan to bring the inlet closer to its advertised 33-foot mean low water depth.
Port officials said the emergency dredge should fix the shoaling problem until the Corps’ annual maintenance dredge this spring.
