Whoa!

That's incredible. I've never seen or heard about anything like that before and I've been diving plenty of times.

Does anyone know more about this? It doesn't look like an anemone to me, more like a filter-feeding worm or something.

Cool! Can't wait to go diving again.

wow, that was straight out of a cartoon lol

No, that is straight outta Aliens!

damnit! now i know where the last Acme Portable Hole™ from eBay went! that soggy rat bastard

zerg have researched Burrow.

zerg, lol. That is definitely a worm. No idea about what kind, though.

Pretty dramatic; reminds me of touch sensitive nyctinastic plants, but a bit more dramatic when the branches and everything can also be constricted underwater.

some little mimosas here;

I used to play with plants like that all the time when I was a kid, great fun when you're 4.

It seems to be something other than an anemone. The branching structure of the fronds would indicate something else. The tentacles of tube-dwelling worms, however, tend to be more radial. Based on the branching structure, I'm guessing these are the tentacles is a variety of sea cucumber. A very large one, however. Are there any marine biologists here on the 'sift?

Wow, that's what happens when I try to grow pot...

WOL!

Can't touch this.

Yup, it's a sea cucumber. Order Dendrochirotida
Notice the pentaradial symetry.. that tells you that it's an echinoderm and not a worm.

^ Well, duh.

That reminds me of the time my grandmother walked in on my girlfriend and I.

^ BAHAHAH

One of these latched onto my face last night while diving. It was gone when I woke up. I'm going to breakfast now.

*looks around for his Armat M41A pulse rifle with over-under PN30 pump action grenade launcher*

damn, where'd I put that 10mm caseless ammo...

Looks kind of like one of these. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sak-OBj4zEU
Can they move that fast retracting the tenticles?

zerg's burrow really sucks ass. That is such a good defense tool. Sweet.
