Nice shot Comitan, where'd you take that pic?? It looks like an aquarium from the marbles & clean water!;):yes:

On the road to San Juan De La Costa (Calafin) those are bubbles.

Ahhhhhhhh!! Hard to tell, pic is small. Has nothing to do with the age of my eyes!:tumble:

Wiley,
It is a nice picture and a beautiful creature.

But the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture was one of these. :lol::lol:



Bad, very bad, I know. :saint::saint:

Wiley, hard to tell, but if I had just one guess I would say it is the plume of a sea cucumber.

looks a little fuzzy...some kind of echinoderm

comitan - 6-14-2009 at 05:21 PM

echinoderm, only 6000 species, maybe Spiny Sun Star.

Yes and all different!!!!!

Looks like the shell of a limpet. Ours in california are usually dark. But I suppose there's no reason they can't be red.

Maybe a new species. We'll name it Acmea comitanii.

Edit: Uploading image of limpets:
