Number one looks like another sponge, delicate vase sponge?

Thank you for the response.

Your Ocellate swimming Crab is eating a Red-ringed Clinging Crab, great shot. The sponge in #1 looks like a Stinker Sponge.

Wow - can't believe you could make it out (couldn't find "Red-ringed Clinging Crab" and believe it is called a Red-ridged Clinging Crab)- I will go back to my original shot and blow it up to look closer.

Thanks for both ID's

I have the Humann books but they don't get into a lot of detail about sponges - does anyone know of a good source for info about IDing them>

I'm guessing #6 is a pallid goby and I have found #7 to be a red lizzardfish. (Sat with the Reef Fish book for a while) Anyone have any other thoughts on #6?

#6 is a Peppermint Goby.

You are right it is 'Red-ridged Clinging Crab' my typo.
