the crinoid Antedon rosacea on gorgonean Primnoella chilensis taken in rocky walls at the magellan region, Chile
Nudibranch: Ceratosoma trilobatum - Reasonably common at Wreck Point and Canyons dive sites along Taiwan NE Coast, always a delight to notice one of these large and colorful nudibranchs making its way along the bottom.

A colorful nudie
Two flamingo tongues browsing a soft coral.
a nice Nudi (Tritonia challengeriana)very common at the Magellan region, Chile
Loch's Chromodoris from Taveuni, Fiji. We saw quite a few of these in the Somo Somo Straits and refered to them as "Toothpaste" Nudibranch. Everyone knew what you meant. Canon A70 with internal flash
'NIGHT BLOOMING CORAL' Tubastrae; seen relatively often here - but a worthy and beautiful subject. One of the handful of corals species found everywhere within the band of Tropics. Loloata, Port Moresby, PNG. Enjoy!
It was taken at Indonesia/Southern Batam
Seven armed star fish arm. Cornwall.
D200, 60mm.
Clam - Taken while diving Green Island on a weekend trip 11-12 November. Lots of clams such as this are embedded in the reef. Likely Tridacna, or giant clam, genus; though not the true Giant Clam species. Took this photo because it is beautiful.

I spotted a huge crown of thorns feeding on the corals, and wanted to take a photo when this little thing hopped around and caught my attention, like a trained model it came right for my camera! :D
