    What is this? it was moving all around with the feathers stuff in front standing straight up at times. Thought I had better shots but they were out of focus.

  2. The last one is a sea cucumber.

  3. hi drsteve, not sure about that, it looked more like a worm....i've seen sea cucumbers, unless babies are different...scott

  4. Yep Scott I think the Dr. nailed it. Looks like a sea cucumber to me. Don't feel bad if you can't find it there are something like 1100 species.

  5. Dr. Steve and Steve, I think you are both right. It just didn't look like any of the sea cucumbers I've seen before the big brown thick ones. This one had a feathery looking front and was moving around rapidly. After doing some research, I think it is this: Beaded Worm Cucumber

    Thanks for your help ! Scott
