Pic #2 is not a sculpin, it's an oyster toadfish
Pic #3 is a rainwater killifish
Pic #9 is a striped hermit crab

The crab in pic #6 appears to be a young stone crab
The crabs in pic #8 are blue crabs
The previous "sally light foot" identification was correct as well

thank you alot guys, i think that gets about all of them. and no, i didnt bring any back. i am a catch and release fisher and herper. thanks again!!!

oh yeah, and i dont think those photos show it, but the pipe fish was carrying eggs. and i also saw a stonefish snorkeling off the shore in big pine key. and i went snorkeling on a reef. that was INSANE. we saw 3 barracuda, a reef shark, regular parrot fish, rainbow parrot fish, and blue parrot fish. and i was just floating around, when i turned to find my dad, there was a big ass tarpon like 2 feet away from me!!!!
is it possible that the pipefish is a male bay pipefish? i was just reading, and apparently they are very much like sea horses. the males carry the eggs till they hatch and they also look very similar too. and since he was carrying eggs...?
