Number one has stumped me for a couple of years now.
1) Taken on a night dive on Davis Reef in Key Largo...any ideas?
Here are a couple more that I can't seem to find a name for...
2) Green Critter Some type of Shrimp maybe - night dive in Belize
3) Another shrimp? It's kinda clear in the image...can't figure it out.
#1 is unlike anything I've ever seen! I'm betting a larval something-or-other...
#2 & 3 are both shrimp I think, but which ones???
So... you're right where you started, and I have three new mysteries on my list
Rick
"You can have peace, or you can have Freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once." (Heinlein)
"... they saw the deeds of the LORD, his wondrous works in the deep." (Ps107:24)
The way is to the destructive element submit yourself,
and with the exertions of your hands and feet in the water
make the deep, deep sea keep you up...

Vie's right, the 1st is a polychaete in the genus Amblyosyllis and it's and adult swollen with gametes. That particular species is quite widespread in the Caribbean.
Green shrimp is Neopontonides chacei or something similar. Last shrimp is Periclimenes rathbunae.
Wow...thanks gang for help in identifying my hence USO. It has been a few weeks since I checked the post and now have the answers I have been searching for.
