    I can't make out what it is from that picture sorry!

    The more I dive, the less I fish.
    3/4 of the Earth are covered by water and 1/4 by land. Clearly God intended us to spend 3 times as much time fishing and diving than mowing the lawn.

    Cute pics! Looks like you need to invest in a good ID book for the Florida area. Hopefully some of our members have some suggestions. Wish I could help with the right names!

    I love the occy's markings!

    #4 is an Ocean Triggerfish!

    #2 is an Atlantic Spiny Oyster!

    #3 is a type of Soft Coral.....

    The Octo is a two spot!

    looks like a diamond blenny, but only 50% on that one so far!

    What really helps people to id critters is if you say how deep it was where you discovered this, day dive or night dive - narrow it down a bit.

    #4 best guess is an orange filefish.
    #5 is so similar to a saddle blenny that I believe it's in the Labrisomid blenny family. Markings almost fit except that the saddles aren't distinct on yours and that light band at the base of the tail isn't a saddle-blenny characteristic. Very nice photo.
    Please let us know if you find authoritative answers.
