Description: Bathryplotes natans has well developed ventro-lateral tubefeet and few or no tubefeet mid-ventrally, the anus is dorsal. Bathyplotes apparently can swim, or at least is neutrally buoyant so that it can be disturbed easily from the seabed.

Description: Need to see vertical view, but likely to be Pelopatides.
Very difficult taxonomy with lots of species to choose from in the Indian Ocean. Pelopatides dissidens (1269m Indian margin), P. gelatinosa (4787m Andaman), P. insignis (1220m, Bay of Bengal), P. mammillatus (2710m Arabian Sea – there is a picture of this species in Billett et al. 2006 jelly detritus paper), P. modestus (896m, Indian margin), P. mollis (477m Bay of Bengal), P. ovalis (815-930m Bay of Bengal), P. quadridens (660-3035, Indonesia, Sumatra) and P. verrucosus (896-1251m, Indian margin).

Description: Holothurian on a rock. Most likely identification is Synallactes horridus:
It seems to have 4 rows of dorsal papillae, a row of larger papillae laterally and a row of smaller tubefeet ventrolaterally. Mid ventral tubefeet presence/absence unknown.
Synallactes horridus and S. Laguardai are known from the area.
For the locality in the Indian Ocean, Off Mozambique and the depth (600m) Synallactes horridus Koehler and Vaney, 1905 is known from a specimen collected at 975m depth. The appendages are closer to the description, but the ossicles are needed in order to corroborate 100% the species.
