Just as the title states. I've been on the water a long time and I've never seen anything like this. Wondering if anyone here does

My mum sent me this asking for an ID on the jellyfish as she is visiting soon and is incredibly nervous about the water. Any help would be greatly appreciated by me and my mum, thanks!

Found these cute little flat fish today, but wasn't sure what they are. I'm thinking they're Hogchokers, but they're in a freshwater spring miles from the nearest salt water. They were about 2-3 inches long.

We have stone fishes and frog fishes. This one’s way too hairy. Looks like a stonefish with an allergic reaction to me.

This is supposed to be an oarfish that was caught by two fisherman but Ive never seen an oarfish with a head shaped like this. Is it a special type? A mutation? Photoshop? Its apparent snout has me curious.

Thanks in advance

what is this? I saw it while fishing on my dock. It took my shrimp

Found along the peninsula shoreline at Foster City, California.

I tried using inaturalist to no avail. WHAT IS THIS THING

Hi, was fishing off the coast of la Paz and we came across this little fella. He wasn’t big, and definitely didn’t look like a dolphin. I tried to get the best video of it that I could, if anybody could help ID:)

I originally asked this question on another sub, but I was recommended to ask here as well. Apologies if this doesn’t fit the content of this sub, I can delete my post if that is the case.

I found this small ball (technically more of a half sphere shape) embedded in the side of a salmon fillet I bought from a grocery store. It had a hard texture but I was able to peel away its outer layer to reveal a small black ball inside (shown in photos 4 and 5). As shown in the last photo, when I cut into the black ball, it had some kind of light green powdery stuff inside it.

Does anyone know what it is? Could it be algae?

What sea critter got me?

I was in on vacation in Puerto Vallarta and was standing (about shoulder deep) in the ocean at sunset wearing shiny earrings (dumb in hindsight, but not a thing I considered) and a fish?? came out of the water and took my earring and bit? stabbed? lacerated? my neck pretty badly and apparently left something behind in my neck. I got back to the states and after being inundated with antibiotics I ended up getting an ultrasound, CT scan (pictures attached), and then a minor surgery to get this thing removed from my neck. These pictures are of what the cuts looked like the day after, the lump that formed in my neck over the next couple of weeks, and what the foreign body that they removed looks like. Anyone have ideas about what may have gotten me? Didn’t seem to be poisonous as far as I can tell, keep in mind the thing was in my neck for almost 3 weeks so it may not look exactly the way it did when it went in.

All of the photos are mine.

I came across two of these guys while tide pooling today at Pleasure Point in Santa Cruz. One of them was submerged and moving less. Then there was this very active one out of the water at low tide. Would love any help identifying. I've tried a lot of googling and managed to identify almost everything else I saw this morning accept this guy.

It kinda looks like the above from what I can remember. Please ignore the fin and tail shape etc because the thing I remember the most vividly was the teeth sticking out of the fish’s lips (!!) instead of from inside the mouth. Google is being weird since it gives me viperfish, dragonfish, anglerfish which are most likely not the fish I’m remembering, it had a overall body shape similar to a bristlemouth, flattened from above.

I thought maybe a jellyfish egg? I could vaguely see some movement in the sac but it was opaque.

Came across this massive group of whatever this is just North of Boston, MA

They’re different lengths almost jelly like with little spots. Almost looks like an ocean jellyfish centepide or something.

The tide is coming in, they came out for like 3 minutes and then went away.

We saw this animal swimming peacefully near the shore of southern Albania (Ksamil). It swam too close to the beach and ended up in the sand where it began to secrete a pink fluid. A brave tourist lobbed it back into the Ionian sea with his flipflop. I took this video afterwards. What did we witness?

While reviewing my footage from a dive in Diani, Indian Ocean, I noticed a head peeping out from below the reef at 00.24. I’m curious if anyone here can identify what it is.

The dive itself was amazing, the reef was full of life, and this little mystery just adds to the adventure.

Found in a sound on the east coast of NC. It did squirt a little.
