Not sure about the first fish, But the next is indeed a seahorse.

Then a brittle star (an Ophiuroid) and some kind of loach, I think, mabe a kuli (sp?) loach. Were they in fresh water?

I didnt get me books out last night, sorry, but I think that the ones I have are mainly UK based.

I'll have a look again tonight.

I dont remember anything about invertebrates apart from what its like to dissect an Ascaris

I remember polyps though but was actually joking when i said that was one - I thought polyps were very tiny?? like the madusa thing we looked at?

the things come from the geographical SEA!!! or more specifically an aquarium in thailand/SE Asia is it minnie?

I was thinking of a coral polyp, although they don't tend to be found in isolation, which suggests that I didnt think it through.

They are all Cnidarians of one form or another anyway, although some medusae don't have a polyp stage and some don't have a pelagic stage. It's all very confusing.
