Did you take this picture? Or find it somewhere on the Web? It looks like nothing I've seen before. But judging from the anatomy, I don't believe it's a fish. Vertibrate, possibly.

I found it while browsing for unknown discoveries and stuff.
Thunderbolt
im guessing a sea snail
but those "fins" dont look right
Drathian666
Looks like a Salamander to me,with fins tho....or some form of Tadpole.

Cool. Never heard of it before. But I was correct; it wasn't a fish.

Yes, this is one of the beautiful species of Nudibranchs/Opisthobranchs of which there are a few thousand I think and they are finding new ones all the time. 2 of my fav websites are to look at these unique creatures is:

and a VERY thorough site, but is time consuming cuz you have to click on the species name to view the pic, then go back to the list for the next one:

I think my fav is the lettuce sea slug. It's called Elysia Crispata - fitting!

Sea slugs are some of the most beautiful creatures of the sea. Well... after octopuses that is wink2.gif

Beautiful color, never seen one before. I thought it was some kinda bath toy, or something.
Feenix Fire
My goodness. They're all so beautiful!
capoeiranger
Yes they're beautiful. I regularly went to a local coral beach near my town to spot them. Too bad I don't have any underwater camera...
