Nice spikes! What is it? Looks like some sort of a sea creature -- great job, if that's the case! I probably would have cropped it a bit differently but great job nevertheless!

Possibly an anemone?

Hmmmm. Looks like something you might find in a tidal pool. Or some sort of plant. But what. No idea.

Wow that's cool. Is it a type of underwater plant or animal? Maybe it's an exotic fruit I've never heard of before.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Damn! Spiky is right. This is cool. Nice sharp focus, pretty colors. I would guess that it is either a plant/flower of some kind or an underwater beastie.

sea anenome? If that's it then its a very good shot because its so clear. Maybe just a flower or plant of some strange variety. Nice shot though.
