    There is definitely quite a bit in the shot. I was looking for the red animal in the middle.

    3 is a favia
    14 is a stylo
    16 is bird of paradise

    And I believe 8 is a stylo as well?

    As for 17, looks like tunicates to me.

    It should have a macro function that works quite well. You might be able to find a kit for making the lenses magnify or become more macro like.
