Great pics. I especially like the reef aquarium and jellyfish pics, but the Snook pics (behind the ray).......Yummy! Although I can't seem to catch any myself. I'm not much of a fisherman. Thx D

its actually a stripped bur fish.

we don't really refer to them as trumpet mouths. we call the trumpet fish.

the "tounge" photo isn't a tounge of anything. it is the radula to a gastropod.

i'll have to see if my brother remembers what this was from..but it is a magnified view of a tongue

This Looks like a Radula from some species of Mollusk (i'd venture to guess a snail) Its like a little grinding mouth part they use

So it is a gastropod radula then, My Invertebrate zoology class served me well last semester
