Nudi - (lousy picture but in my defence the heavy surge made it very challenging to stay still enough to focus the camera)


These "filter feeders" are all over the place- They are similar looking to a sea apple but obviously not as colorful and have these fuzzy arms they draw in plankton with. Very cool animal.


Common Sponge


Blue Sun Coral - (this was the first time I ever noticed this variety)


Do these spines make me look fat?


Master of disguise - stone fish






Pocillopora
