Honestly, I was just guessing with the crab one. I saw it do a crab impersonation on TV so it didn't seem like an impossibility anyway
...or was it a starfish? x_X


Good golly, is that its mouth?

I think its a bit more stupid then scary.

yep
but its microscopic, so no worries not until i supersize them for my growing legions of darkness mwahahahaha

=| Setekh, you are scaring me a little. Juuuuust a little. Yes. *flees*

And CrewWolf, that "crab" imitation...Uhm...HEHE it gave me the idea of a jelly for some reason. Or maybe a pudding. When I realied it's an octopus

good

Setekh, what's that thing? o_O Is it a minimized lobster and you maximized it with microscope? :P

not a clue, was shown it on another forum, looks to be a species of worm (course the name suggests that too )
probably one of the... well, illness ones if you get my drift.

Heh...
My dad used to work in a grocery store (when he was a teen ager), and this one day he heard his manager (a lady) screaming in terror from the storage room. She came running out and slammed into him. He asked her what was wrong and all she could say was "SPIDER"
So he went back there and looked, and in the crate of bananas she had been unpacking, was a bird eating spider (the size of a dinner plate).
Now... i'll admit, i'm quite afraid of spiders... but my dad? Nope; I don't think any living animal frightens him (so long as he knows he hasn't ticked it off and it isn't going to poison him).
So he got a big mayonaise jar (the industrial size ones) and got the spider into it, and then gave it to his biology teacher.
Apparently like three years later, my dad went back and the spider was still there, happily living on mice.

*shudders*
Part of my fear of spiders, and... bugs that bite stems from the fact that i'm so highly allergic to them. I got bit by a tiny spider this summer and I was sick for a few days, with a nasty red mark on my leg. It was barely worth squishing that spider (but it did bite me).
Meh.

Oh my God, I would freak out if I saw a spider like that. I can't stand spiders, which is bad because my house is full of them -_-

oh.. we like spiders eh?

..oh.. cant find any bird eating spiders (yes.. i said bird eating) big things, about the size of your head with the biggens

ohemgeeeeeeeeee, I hate spiders. I know they (probably) won't hurt me...After all, we live in an area where not much is poisonous. We don't really have snakes, spiders...I think there's the occasional black widow, but that's it. Anyway, they still freak me out - I get it from my mom. The biggest spider I've personally ever seen was a spider with a body about half the size of my fist, when I was visiting my grandparents in Texas, and it freaked me out.

I'll never live in Texas. *shudders* I'll go live in Colorado or someplace it gets really COLD so there aren't any poisonous things. Although...wait....Colorado's high desert, isn't it? Crap. Cold winters, hot summers...noooo thank you.

One thing about the deep ocean I think is cool, though, are those blobs of random substances that have lights that flash and move and stuff, it's awesome.

THAT IS SO COOL! I WANT TO MEET YOUR DAD!

Most people are afraid of my dad. He's an intimidating guy. My brother used to play on the football team in high school; and my dad was manager at the camera store in the mall close by to said high school.
The whole football team was frightened of my dad. He doesn't really smile...
but he's got some really great stories. *nods* Like the time he found a four foot iguana swimming around his apartments pool.

I saw an iguana once. I almost stepped on it, actually - I was in bare feet because it was the middle of summer, and I heard the ice cream man, so I went crashing out the front door and shot down the driveway. Lucky me I have quick reflexes XD between the car and the lawn - a couple feet of space where I usually run - there was an iguana hanging out, so I just jumped over it as I ran...and then I turned around and was like 'O.O'

So then I ran back inside and was like 'DAD THERE'S AN IGUANA IN THE FRONT YARD.' So we put it inside a dog carrier thingy, put that in the back of the truck, then asked around until we discovered that it belonged to some people down the street. It was v. amusing.

I love spiders! Ahoteinrun, that story about your dad is so cool!

I used to have a tarantula, but my roommate was going to tell my RA that I had it (she didn't like spiders). So I had to send him to someone who has lots of other creepy crawlies and would take good care of him. I miss him, I'm going to get another when I'm out of college (my boyfriend doesn't like that idea because we want to have kids when we're eventually married and tarantulas can live up to 20 years).

Cool pics:

EDIT: To add my extra two cents: I really enjoy this thread. I have learned a great deal from it about under sea life. I'll see a really strange picture of something, or go looking for something of my own and I end up reading a learning about it and probably 5 other creatures along the way. I think when I was looking up the mandarin fish last time I found the spiney star fish that someone else posted a few pages back. They're a really poisonous form of jelly fish that live in the same waters as the mandarin fish so many websites were warning divers who wanted to see the mandarin fish about that star fish.
