Nice photos guys! If I didn't go with the camera I have now, I would definately be considering the Oly C-5050.
Adrian, I just recently became Papa to a few sacks of squid eggs up here in the green pacific. I didn't know what they were until a few weeks back when I did some searching. The ones here are opalescent squid sacks. And as you can find in literature they either attatch them to sandy/muddy bottoms as individual sacks or as groups of clustering sacks when attatched to branchs or such. I came across a huge cluster and some individuals on the bottom. However, returning there regularly I have noticed that the individuals have disappeared at the cluster has a couple mangled sacks.
Then I go somewhere else looking for crabs and I run into more squid sacks... but with a red-rock crab clinging to a section of it that it ripped off or just a whole other batch of eggs. Eagerly the crab is working away at the eggs as I approach, but then pausing in action as I come closer. In the heat of my anger I swim at the crab, who deftly begins running along. Determined not to lose his feast at first he carries them with him. Finally sensing the hinderance and the peril that lies ahead, he drops the eggs. To no avail as I scoop up the crab and transport him to the surface. I should have taken a picture instead though.
Other than that, tube worms (aka. sea plumes, feather dusters) have become one of my favourite interests lately. Nice photo! I have been gathering quite a few of my own locally. So diverse and colorful these animals! But just the plain white ones can be so magnificent in their simplicity.
Cheers
