Hi, please, can someone name these two creatures :
The first one was taken in the Sanibel beach (Fort Myers), and the second off the coast of Miami Beach.

The first is a horseshoe crab. The second is a queen angelfish (Holacanthus ciliaris).

Actually the second is a Blue Angelfish

Right. The Queen has a crown and a yellow tail.

Here is a picture of a Queen Angelfish. Sorry Walter, I'm traveling and the only way I could show a reasonable sized picture was to insert a photobucket version.

The first one looks to be a molt from a Limulus polyphemus, and yes the second is a Holocanthus bermudensis
