New Game. Everyone Participate!

[emonemo420]

alright thanks to gordonius i have brought the game back(forgot about it) and also by request we are doing PM's now instead of public posting...i will get on and check daily and post wether there is any right or not... when someone gets them all right ill post the answers and the winner.. imma start with these and see how well everyone does and then go harder or easier depending on the situation...most of u are pretty good with this...the idea is to try and not cheat and learn about some possible new species...this first set is fairly common... full participation required!

here we go

Hey Jon what was the name of that rock looking fish you had. I guess that for #3

 

[emonemo420]

3 is a tough one however i gave u a little hint in the pic if u look closely...but since no one has really jumped on the game 1 and 2 are close in icys post 3 no one was even cose and 4 and 5 are correct..ne one more exact on 1 and 2 and any good guesses for 3

 

[a1amap]

octopus

 

[icy1155]

Without a skeleton, its almost impossible to identify any acan, as well as pretty much any sps to more than the genus... thats why I didnt even try

 

[emonemo420]

alright well give it a few more days to see if ne one jumps in...if not ill post answers (mainly cause the answers are in DE n im in PA for the next few days)

 

[ronert]

my guess for #3 - a really old style ugly linoleum floor - circa 1926

 

[SnEaKyPoLoCk]

#2 looks like Pink Bird's Nest Coral... Idk was lookin at buying some and that looks like a lot like it.

 

[Jocephus]

#3 = Speckled Starfish.
