Wow. A lot of great shots! Very crisp detail on the stalked tunicate and the shrimp. Really like the Diaulula sandiegensis family and 2nd fish eating anemone shot. Is that another Red Beard Sponge in the 28th shot?

What kind of worms are these?

I knew I had seen one of the red sponges somewhere before. It was close to where the large lingcod was on the west side of the reef.
The worms are Orange, or Fragile tube worms, Salmacina tribranchiata.
 
Glad you two got in some good dives. After being in Florida most of the month, I just went down to the dive park and thought it looked too cold to dive! Happy belated Thanksgiving, Phil & Merry.
 
And you would be correct! Even in drysuits, we added sweatshirts underneath, trying not to think about the temps. My computer read 51F, but the current must have been acting as a wind chill factor. It felt more like 41F. :)
 
Thanks again for your amazing photos!
