3 Sea Life Plant/Animals I can't ID

[inalilbubble15]

Hey Everyone,

I need a little help with my oceanography homework, Ive been able to ID and classify all but 3 of the plants/animals I need to ID. I just need the common names and I can go ahead and research the rest, Ive looked high and low and have not been able to ID them so any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much you were spot on!

BTW I had asked scientist and biologist and none were able to give me a definite answer.

You are welcome - #1 and #2 are really common when diving. #3 not as much. Good luck with your studies - If you ever get the chance to SCUBA - do it!!

#3 guessing a Flatworm

Yes, this is a flatworm - Pseudoceros lindae.

I live in Miami and I've scuba dived in the Caribbean several 2 times but I have a huge issue equalizing and always have to stay 10 feet above the rest of the group. Ive now just resorted to snorkeling since I do love the ocean.

Sorry you have problems with your ears - that is a common problem.
