| * The above image was taken deep off
the wall at Bloody Bay, at Little Cayman Island. It contains a number of marine organisms. We think the orange sponge is
probably (Ulosa hispidus), and the traces of Red Encrusting
Sponge we won't even try to guess. The feather-like Hydroids are (Sertularella
speciosa), and the white Sea Frost is a Colonial Serpulid Worm (Filograna
implexa). The Stem serving as a base is, we
believe, a species of Black Coral (Antipathes. sp).
