Islas Galápagos, Ecuador, South America



* On the mid to lower right, a Yellow Spotted Sea Cucumber or Pepino (Stichopus fuscus) rests on encrusting organism, probably a colony of sponges.  In the far right center is a small group of Solitary Hydroids (Tubularia sp.). On the left is a pair of Galápagos Sea Fans, one in polyp (Muricea sp. ?).  In the upper right corner, one can make out a pair of wine-red Tunicates.  Feather Hydroids  (Aglaophenia sp ?) can be seen protruding from the left center of the Sea Cucumber.
