Extra images and research :

This glowing tube anemone, a relative of sea anemones was found 500m beneath the waves

in the Gulf of Mexico.

Most fluorescent marine creatures have been found in shallower water, for instance this

tube anemone, Cerianthus Membraneceus from the Mediterranean Sea.

Two colonies of cnidarians growing over each other glow in different colours. Zoanthus in orange/red

and Palythoa in green. Can be often found in the rubble of coral reefs.

Some plug-ins that will help me in my assignment, something to share as well :

WeaverBird is the plug-in for topological transformations in Rhino and Grasshopper. It now supports colors and texture coordinates. It helps inventing, smoothing, modifying, thickening and preparing meshes for rapid manufacturing technologies.

Its a must have tool, especially modelling organic shapes. There is videos on demonstration in youtube as well.

This is a coral image taken from http://www.aqua-dreams.com/87461.html

I find it rather interesting, especially fluorescent corals or sea anemones. The fluorescent color highlights most

of this creatures which has pretty transparent shape.

This is a wave picture taken from http://hdw.eweb4.com/out/72248.html

Although the wave looks threatening but the strong curve and splashes made it look smooth yet bold. Waves are pretty much abstract to me, it is constantly morphing in different ways as it doesn't have static shape.

Cloud!! Taken from http://razoredmedia.blogspot.com/

Same goes to cloud, it doesn't have static shapes and is constantly changing just like smoke. Very abstract and minimalist. And it seems so light and fluffy yet calming. 

Honey combs have interesting hexagon like shape. If you see the sliced honey, the section cut shows the texture/shape inside.
