I have posted a picture in my gallery and named it unknown for a good reason- I don't know what it is. If anyone knows please let me know so I can put its name with the photo. It looks and moves like a centipede (just not as full). It was pretty creepy looking in person. We have quite a few centipede's around our house so to see one underwater gave me the heebeejeebies (sp?). Thanks. The picture was taken at Firehouse on the North Shore (o'ahu).
 
Its a bearded fireworm (Hermidice carunculata) commonly known as a bristleworm.

It is considered dangerous marine life and should not be touched or handled.
 
Thank you!!!!! I only got close enough for the picture then left. It creept me out. I will go put that under my picture now.
 
Those turtle pics are mondo!!!!! Especially the two together and the one that looks like it is standing on flippertip. Thanks for sharing..
