Hello again, I was hoping I could get a little more help with common and scientific names. I'm cataloging my pics this weekend.

Are these from St. Lucia?
 
Pic #4 is a type of sea-cucumber, not sure of the variety without a better pic. Pic #5 is a vase sponge.
 
2 – Blackbar Soldierfish – Myripristis jacobus
or weren't you asking about the fish?
 
My guesses:
#1 Deepwater Sea Fan (Iciligorgia schrammi)
#2 Blackbar Soldierfish (Myripristis jacobus)
#3 same as #1 + Green Finger Sponge at the base??
#4 Three-Rowed Sea Cucumber (Isostichopus badionotus)
#5 Azure Vase Sponge (Callyspongia plicifera)
