Same thing I saw once at Makua--I think Dama has a few observations as well, but having trouble finding them.

It might be a hairy octopus, anyone? There is only one observation off of Maui, if it is the same species... Thanks in advance.

I found 10 of these, 2 to 4 mm long, on a very fine, filamentous green alga in a shallow, high intertidal rocky pool amongst patchy salt marsh.
Specimens match Gould's (1870) description and illustrations of this species (as Calliopaea fuscata) from Boston Harbor.

Cnidaria is just a guess based on the shapes of the colored bits.

Is probably Nereis pelagica, like my other suggested observations here, but not certain if key features are visible. Observed during the DFO Quebec Region groundfish trawl survey in the Northern Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Fledgling's first bath! Couldn't quite work it out at first, sat next to the puddle rather than in it, flapping and thrashing :-) Other three siblings very curious.

A friend was collecting plankton for the marine science center, and found three colorful shrimp in the tow net. Thanks, @timlawson, for assisting with the photography! I think this red 1.2" shrimp with a few blue dots is Heptacarpus franciscanus.

The first time they've been seen outside the den. SEVEN kits and their harried mom, who appears in the background in the first photo. On private property in Northern California.
Needless to say, I have a gazillion more photos, if you need a bigger dose of this cuteness: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmVeV8vG

Very small invertebrate of some kind (<1 cm long). At first I thought nudibranch, but the tentacles look more like an anemone or cup coral?
