Closeup of a Crown of Thorns starfish.An unusual anenome and its resident anemone-fish.A pipefish with two feather-duster worms.
Unidentified green stuff - if you know what this is, please contact me!The feather-duster portion of this worm is actually the creature's gills.A candy-cane striped cucumber, about 15 inches long.
A tiny Harlequin ghost Pipefish, about one inch long.The textures of hard corals vary considerably - this one resembles chenille.A rare White Bonnet Anemone Fish nestled in its host anemone.
Anemone fish are immune to the stinging tentacles of their host anemone.An inch-long Whip Blenny blends well with its whip coral home.A colorful Striped Blenny timidly pokes it head from the safety of its hole.
