This was shot in the bahamas, not sure what it is. Any ideas? The shot is an up close macro. The size of it is about an inch wide.

Aloha Warren,

Maybe you should post this photo in the Name that Critter thread. I'm sure somebody knows what it is. That's a lovely photo, by the way. :)

I have some ideas, but no ID. I would guess a tube dwelling anemone (Ceriantharia) of some sort, if this picture was taken at night. Their tentacles are usually not visible during the day. Also, they have a "tuft of shorter tentacles" in the center, according to Humann, Deloach, which wouldn't be visible in this picture.
