Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Probably Chlamys islandica, a captive individual on display in Terra Nova National Park. I am not so sure about species though. The display was about the littoral invertebrates, i.e., most likely Icelandic Scallop.
Qué
Animales (Reino Animalia)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Perhaps this is spawn of some marine invertebrate (or stranded jellyfish?). Interestingly, the system does not allow to select "invertebrates" from the list of organisms.
Qué
Medusas (Clase Scyphozoa)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Probably a disintegrating jellyfish, though it did not look like A. aurata. Perhaps it's something else.
Qué
Erizo Corazón (Meoma ventricosa)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Meoma ventricosa?? I could be completely off with this ID. Regardless, I think that this is test covered with a thin layer of algae, i.e., the spine-like structures are probably algae.
Qué
Peces con Aletas Radiadas (Clase Actinopterygii)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
My initial thought was "sand lances", but those do not occur in the Bahamas. Perhaps silversides?
Qué
Coral Bola de Golf (Favia fragum)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Encrusting on metal. Identified by jbrasher.

Qué
Corales Cerebro (Género Pseudodiploria)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Probably Diploria strigosa.
Qué
Género BeroeObserv.
michaelp36Descripción
Probably a comb jelly, although cilia rows are not prominent.
Qué
Psolus fabriciiObserv.
michaelp36Descripción
Perhaps tentacles of Psolus fabricii or Spaghetti Worm (Terebellidae), but I could be completely off with my ID as I am not familiar with either animal. The tentacles were retracted into sand when I moved the lens closer.
Qué
Erizo Verde de Mar (Lytechinus variegatus)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Probably Lytechinus variegatus, although the majority of those have olive-green spines rather than purple.
Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
This dragonfly was identified as Libellula herculea or Orthemis aequilibris by two different dragonfly experts. After looking at some images, I tend to agree with the latter; however, it would be interesting to get another expert's opinion.
Qué
Insectos Alados (Subclase Pterygota)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Identified as Argia cf. tibialis on BugNet. I would be interesting to hear opinions on its identity.
Qué
Esponja Vaso (Callyspongia plicifera)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Two species. I am wondering about the translucent sponge on the left.
Qué
Esponja Gigante de Barril (Xestospongia muta)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Perhaps Cribrochalina sp.?
Qué
Esponjas Y Parientes (Filo Porifera)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Encrusting sponge; perhaps Cribrochalina sp.
Qué
Esponja Gigante de Barril (Xestospongia muta)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Perhaps Xestospongia, but very atypical osculum; perhaps they do not form "barrel" at lesser depths??

Qué
Erizos de Mar (Subclase Euechinoidea)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Hiding next to a fully grown Diadema antillarum (see next photo). Interestingly, iNaturalist identified it as "Common Hedgehog"!
Qué
Tribu MinuciniObserv.
michaelp36Descripción
Some small marbled crab. I could not find it in field guides.
Qué
Erizo Diadema (Diadema antillarum)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
Probably Diadema antillarum, but with very short (for that species) spines. A variation or perhaps young?? Initially, I though it may be a Echinometra lucunter, but it has thicker and shorter spines; also I doubt E. lucanter has these white "Y" radiating pattern.
Qué
Leguminosas (Familia Fabaceae)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
A shrub or small tree of the Fabaceae.

Qué
Macarela Caballa (Decapterus macarellus)Observ.
michaelp36Descripción
I am guessing these are mackerel scads (black spot at the edge of gill plate). Frames from a video.
