I don't even what to say what I think it is, but what do you think it is?

It's at the top left above the coral.

I'm not clear what you're looking at. The teal stuff? The thing floating in the teal area? Can you circle it?

I think it's the teal stuff. It's schmutz. (In other words,I have no idea what it is.)

If it's the teal stuff, to me it just looks like distant coral.

I think its Hypselodoris bullocki, a sea slug. Found some info on this site:
SeaSlug Forum

ETA: I just noticed your circle.... obviously I thought you were referring the the purple slug.... oh well..... back to sleep for me :)

Look, the teal stuff is out of focus. The "thing" you've circled is IN focus; therefore the "thing" you've circled is a gap or hole in the teal stuff, and you're looking at the seafloor or whatever else is providing the background here. As to what the teal stuff is, I have no clue.

LOL It's not the Nudibranch I am enquiring about, it's the creature I have now circled LOL.

Look carefully at it. It's tiny and not in focus. What is it?

I think it might be a One Eyed Alien Sea Horse - in it's own clowd of noxious alien fumes . . but I've been wrong before . .

If I'm wrong in my previous post, and it actually IS above the teal stuff, then it's the larval form of something, whatever it might be. Itty-bitty tiny fishies look like that :-)

a baby slug?
 08/10/2009 03:36:07 PM · #11
looks like possibly a seahorse?? Or maybe just some form of sealife poop.
 08/10/2009 03:53:33 PM · #12


Problem solved.

Looks like a tiny seahorse to me.

Hard to tell for sure, since it's out of focus and difficult to see what it's attached to. Is it on the glass, or on the surface in the back? Could be a flatworm -- that's my personal first guess from what I can see of it.
08/10/2009 05:57:26 PM · #15
Blue shrimp?
 08/10/2009 06:24:13 PM · #16
If you look closely, that darker object that is circle is actually surrounded by a clearish membrane. Therefore, I'm thinking it's some sort of jellyfish?

By the way, it's sort of like a photo that I have (see below). There is an anomaly within it. See if you can see it. Hint: look closely, it is not in the mattress.

its an orb (ROFLMAO)

With a little bit of editing, I have uncovered what that strange object is...............

08/10/2009 09:50:13 PM · #20
It could be a pygmy seahorse I guess. I've never seen one but they are common in this area.

I think you can rule out censor dust. Hard to tell. Do you have a larger crop that you can show here?

Unfortunately the image is too distorted. Not one of my best. Even though it was 18 metres deep, the current was very very strong and it was very difficult to remain still long enough to get a good clear shot.

I agree, one eyed alien seahorse:)
