Week 3 Theme: Other Invertebrates, non nudis/flatworms

[alcina]

Ok...I'll start again this week! Let's see those other invertebrates that get overlooked in our nudi, flatworm, clam shots...

Here's a different view of an old favourite. Taken in heavy current, this sea apple was happily enjoying the floating buffet.

Love the colors in that one! And the cool little frilly bits... very neat.

Here's a cool cowrie shot; very autumnal colors:

And one of my all-time favorites from our collection; an egg-yolk jellyfish off Catalina:

I only get little red x's where the photos should be Oops, no it's working now!

Lovely I really like the jelly - don't think I've seen one of those here!

I'm new at photography all-together, much less while underwater. However, I wanted to participate

Welcome and jump right in - that looks like a very cool jelly...do you know the name?

Thanks!

No idea, but we saw quite a few of these fella's cruising along on this particular dive. Pics were taken about 2 months ago at Ft. Pickens(Pensacola, Florida). They were 14-16" around and were often accompanied by fish hanging around the tentacle area. This is the best pic I have of it, I do have a small video of it cruising along(with the fish) but my host doesn't allow hosting videos.

Here is a Red Pencil Sea Urchin taken at Kona. Hawaii last year. This is my first photo posting, hope it works.

I've got a Long Spined Sea Urchin

Not sure what kind of anemone this is, it isn't in Humann's books...
