Rainbow Wrasse - Coris julis

Peacock Worm - Sabella pavonina


 At first sight these little animals look like plants, but they are in fact worms.
The worm lives inside the tube formed from mud, sand particles and mucus.  Protruding tentacles extend outwards and filter feed on passing particles.  When disturbed the tentacles quickly retract into the tube.

Two-banded Sea Bream - Diplodus vulgaris

 Known as la Mojarra in Spanish and very common in shallow water.
