i live and dive that rule.... i love the ocean and what gifts it brings... but respect her and live.... or die in shame....

Most of the things in the ocean will either sting or bite. Unless you have special knowledge, it is best to leave everything alone.

i agree with you... unless you know how to handle the creature don't bother it....sting and bite... but you forgot the shocking part... some can zap you...

Thank god i'm a cold water diver, nothing up here that stings... badly anyways. We do have orcas though, probably not a good idea to go about molesting those.

Nice to see so much talk about a worm for once! Just for the record, I do think it's Hermodice carunculata, the bearded fireworm.
Cheerio!

I feel silly to say this...I think we have those....I never knew they were poisonous. The NAME did not even tip me off. I can be very dense. I can see myself nudging one into position for a macro shot....hahaha.

hmmm, there is this yappy Bison Frise next door that I want to suffer an early demise. Could I leave this little thing on the sidewalk for his am stroll? I have been trying to figure out the best way to do this dog in for a few years now...it is the thing that keeps me going.
