hehehee as my 3 year old says while he's watching ads on TV, "I WANT ONE"
K, I guess I'll have to wait for a pic if and see if I can help you on it. It sounds like some form of algae though, and I'd guess it wouldn't be a...
OK. That's Neomeris annulata, a fairly slow-growing species of calcareous algae. I don't know if some examples of this species, or even some related...
HMM, I'm just guessing without a pic, but... you say they are connected to the rock? Some nemertean worms are green, but the only thing I can think...
By the way, that cowry is an adult, and won't get any bigger. Once the shell curls under and forms teeth, it is as large as it will get, and any...
Pretty animal, it's Cypraea (Monetaria) annulus, the "Gold Ringer" cowry. It should look like this with the mantle retracted, no? Monetaria...

I probed my tunicates thoroughly, but couldn't find a backbone.... :o so, I concluded they must be invertebrates. I vote for a deadly cone snail,...
Hi Dustin, I don't recognize the white animal, but the black one is a Scutus species, probably Scutus unguis. It's in the same family as keyhole...
It's a Scutus species, and most people consider them to be reef safe. A few have accused them of tasting of their softies, but others claim they...
Hi guys, Actually, Stomatella snails are the ones that can't withdraw under the shell. The most common ones are Stomatella varia, which may be...
Hi Art, I replied on Dr. Shimek's forum, but I'm not sure if you got the response. Your snail is Cypraecassis coarctata, one of the Helmet...
