I need help with identification of some marine animals I took photos of
while diving. Please direct me to the correct newsgroup if I'm in the the
wrong one. Thanks.

I specificly need the following creatures from Thailand ID'ed:

http://inet.uni2.dk/~nktcnktc/thailand2004/10_xxx_worm_Koh_Tachai.htm (some
kind of worm I guess)
http://inet.uni2.dk/~nktcnktc/thailand2004/11_xxx_pufferfish_Khao_Lak.htm (a
puffer but what kind)
http://inet.uni2.dk/~nktcnktc/thailand2004/12_xxx_flatworm_Khao_Lak.htm
(some kind of worm I guess)

Thanks in advance
Jan Andersen

Nope... but seems so ;o)
It's an opisthobranch mollusc. Maybe a Pteraeolidia (ianthina).

This time you're right. It's a flatworm: belongs to Polycladida
