Linnaeus' Legacy: Legs Eleven

The next edition of Linnaeus' Legacy will be coming up shortly at The Other 95%. Last month's edition at A DC Birding Blog matched its host by holding lots of birds, so my challenge to you all would be to try to make this month follow suit and bring out the marine invertebrates. Submissions can be directed to Eric Heupel via eric.heupel at gmail.com, or use the BlogCarnival submission form.
