Aren't the creatures in the third pic fish? Close relatives of sea horses, I believe.

Laura, what is your 7:31 pic? Is it something very tiny, or another kind of sea slug, or what?

Martin, it is a type of ctenophore, which I am in love with. I'm not sure which kind.

I don't know what a ctenophore is!

Aldo, what is the thing in your 1:39 post?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 16 September 2005 11:57 (twenty years ago)

It's a mollusc called a Flamingo Tongue. The pattern is actually a mantle inside the shell.
