    Hi, I have three more ID's for you experts out there!

    First One. This is a tiny fish I caught while snorkeling just of the coast of Ixtapa, Mexico. I cannot find anything similar on the net. Any clue?

    Second one. I collected a piece of coral in the same spot. It is a piece that came off the reef in the same location.

    Third one. On the pieces of coral I collected, there were these little worms who now have established in my aquarium. Sometimes, this "crest" comes out.
