I've actually thought about this one, but never really decided on which one I'd like to be....I need to ponder...

name any underwater organism you would like to be and why?

Ms. Limpet

man could I have fun with this one! ;)

Hence why I am staying out of this one.

Timmmmmyyyy....go for it!

OK, I have to name at least 2...
1. a cute little trunk fish because they are just too cute

2. a tarpon...majestic and they don't like neoprene or divers :-)

Well, not being nearly as educated as most of you (although I usually learn something new with each day!), here is my choice.
--->> an Octopus because they are smart, playful, can get into all kinds of crazy spots and change colors almost as often as I change my hair color

Okay, before everyone jumps all over me.... I know they aren't fish but... come on! They have 3 hearts for gosh sakes

Well, in the world of big fish/little fish I prefer to be a big fish! Probably an orca is just about right.

Little organisms are better than nothing, but I prefer the big ones. LOL

That's good, Timmmmy. I can see the likeness. :-)

As long as we're including underwater mammals, I'd be a dolphin anyday! They also are intelligent, and pack/pod animals and not that many natural enemies! And they are so graceful. I've always wanted to be graceful.

I would like to be a Dolfin too, but my husband would probably say that I am a Stingray!!!:P

A graceful anemone... purple tipped of course.

Or a little tiny baby trunkfish so everyone would see me and say, "oh my gosh, look how LITTLE she is!" lol.

Kathy, I'm probably much closer to an orca, though. lol

I would say dolphin but it's for one of the little known facts about them - one of the things that they have in common with humans that most other animals do not!!!!

They mate when they feel like it??? LOL :-D

I would like to be a barracuda, mysterious, peaceful in a weird kind of stalker way (LOL),and not too many enemies.

Rosanne, that's why I like the tarpon...i can be a stalker (or is it stocker)...hee hee...and look scary when I'm really not...but a baraccuda looks and IS scary...lol!

i'd be a sponge...wait a minute...i AM a sponge

Hey Grasshopper! Hope you had a wonderful trip! I was gone to Oregon for my husbands family reunion and just got back this afternoon. Can't talk about it now, still traumatized and BT doesn't allow obscenities. I would have to say:
STAWWWKA (I grew up in New York) I look scary too and today, I feel very dangerous and scary!

Ok .. I'll go for a damsel fish; protective, aggresive, and pretty in its own way :-)

I didn't want to be an orca, but it seemed the best decision in order to live a long fun life as well as go nuts playing and flipping in the wild blue, Kelly! lol I wouldn't be one of those orcas on Discovery that throws seals around for fun, I'd be the Sea World kind.

I have this test I should give here. hmmmm

You are correct Christine.

And as they technically are a mammal I might go with my favorite fish which are trunkfish. But wait that might not be good either. Hmmm - so many to choose from. I must continue to think...and that hurts my head.
