    Default What's this BIZARRE animal?

    35 seconds in.....



    From a distance I thought reef squid, but when the footage got closer, I see not a bilateral set of fins, but a single dorsal fin undulating for propulsion. The end has what looks like an Elph shoe curl, lol.

    This one has me stumped.

    Opening shot is a Hawks Bill turtle trying ti sleep under the edge of the coral! Is that what we are talking about? Come on where are your sea eyes?

    NO, I think he is asking about the critter he filmed after the turtle.

    I don't know exactly what that is, but it looks to be some form of Zooplankton. I am not a biologist, so that is just a guess.

    Squid Larva! Look and you can see it is swimming backwards and has swimmerets in the right place and what looks like Tentacles putting everything in the right place.
