If a swordfish didn't have a sword on it's nose, what would it be called?

Yes, it is called a wolphin. Part common bottlenosed dolphin, part false killer whale. I believe. Here's a link to be sure.

The Cookie-cutter Shark is named after the neat cookie-shaped wounds that it leaves on the bodies of larger fishes (Goblin Shark, Escolar) and marine mammals.\n\n This species has a small cigar-shaped body (up to about 50 cm in length), a conical snout and two low, spineless dorsal fins positioned posteriorly on the body. It is dark brown dorsally, lighter below, and has a distinct dark collar around the gill region (visible in the middle image). The entire ventral surface, with the exception of the dark collar, is covered in a dense network of tiny photophores (light producing organs), which in life produce an even greenish glow. The genus name Isistius is derived from Isis, the Egyptian goddess of light.\nCookie-cutter Shark - anterior part of body\nCookie-cutter Shark - anterior part of body.

The Cookie-cutter Shark attaches itself to its prey with its suctorial lips, and then spins to cut out a cookie-shaped plug of flesh from the larger animal.\n\nA recent theory (Widder, 1998) suggests that the feeding behaviour of the Cookie-cutter Shark may be even stranger than originally thought. It is counterilluminated, a dark colour above and lighter below (due to the light organs).\nCookie-cutter Shark - whole body\nCookie-cutter Shark - whole body.

The theory suggests that this dark area would look like a small fish from below, and the Cookie-cutter Shark would wait for a larger predator to attack the "small fish". As the predator is about to attack, the Cookie-cutter Shark would turn and attack the attacker. The forward motion of the larger animal may even assist the Cookie-cutter Shark in removing the plug of flesh.\nCookie-cutter Shark - dorsal view\nCookie-cutter Shark - dorsal view.

There are even reports of this species leaving crater-marks on the sonar domes of nuclear submarines (more information).\n\nCookie-cutter Sharks are recorded from scattered localities around the world. In Australia they have been recorded from Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania and Western Australia. They vertically migrate, being found in deep water, probably below 1000 m during the day, and migrating into surface waters at night.

dolphin and pike (Osteichthyes) have bones; sea cucumber and flounder do not have true bones they are cartelagenous fish (Chondrichthyes)  the sea cucumber has no skeletal system.

silverfish maybe?\n\nSIZE: 1/2 to 1 inch (12.7-25.4mm)\n\nCOLOR: Brown or silver-gray\n\nDESCRIPTION: Silverfish are small, soft insects without wings. The abdomen has three filaments extending from it.Silverfish are not often seen by homeowners because they are nocturnal and can run very swiftly. Occasionally, they are found in bathtubs. They crawl in seeking food or moisture and can't climb out. These insects prefer vegetable matter with a high carbohydrate and protein content. However, indoors they will feed on almost anything. A partial list includes dried beef, flour, starch, paper, gum, glue, cotton, linen, rayon, silk, sugar, molds and breakfast cereals.

sorry.. your Question seems truncated...\n\nShould be the Sperm Whale I think

I was going to say pseudo-scorpion, a very common arachnid related to scorpions and spiders, but with no tail stinger, but then I saw the size in your details.\n\nThe only critter I can think of in North America that could possibly be that large is one of the types of crayfish.\n\nHere is a site with some pretty good crayfish pictures: http://www.shrimpcrabsandcrayfish.co.uk/Shrimp.htm?crayfishamerica.html~mainFrame\n\nIf you were in more tropical climes, I would guess that it might be some form of crab, such as a land crab or robber crab.

As a matter of fact... that's a Spiny King Crab (Paralithodes rathbuni)!\n\nhttp://www.mbayaq.org/efc/living_species/default.asp?hOri=1&inhab=192

Clown fishes are indeed Actinopterygii, or fishes with skeletal bones.  (In ichthyology, that is the biology of fishes, the plural fishES is actually alright to use when you speak of more than one species.  If you are talking about more than one individuals of one species, you use fish.)  To be exact, they are a member of the largest group of bony fishes, the teleosts.  \n\nBut from a biologist's point of view "fish" is not really a true biological category - or as we say in biology, no real monophyletic group.  It's one of those names under which all animals are subsumed that have a certain shape, that have fins, and that have gills.  But the chondrichthyes (the cartilageous fishes) are very different from the teleosts; it is almost as if you compared a mammal like a mouse, with gecko.  Most ichthyologists (or fish biologists) would therefore say that clown fishes are really teleosts.\n\nThe interesting thing about the different species of clown fish is that they change their sex throughout their life.  For example, the blackfinned clownfish (Amphiprion percula) is protandrous, which means they start out their lives as males and then later in life turn into females.  What determines the exact timepoint of this change is actually social behavior.  Normal Amphiprion percula live in symbiosis with an anemone (meaning the clownfish protects the anemone against certain predators, while the anemone offers protection to the clownfish between its tentacles).  Usually there is one female with a harem of a few males in the anemone.  When the female dies the male of the highest rank begins to change into a female.  This change is controled by hormones, and the hormone levels change in response to the altered social condition (i.e., the female being gone).  There are other hermaphrodite species, like the blue-headed wrass, that start out as females and then turn into males, a strategy called protogynous.  \n\nWell, that bit on hermaphrodism was more than you asked about.  But it's a cool bit, and so I thought I'd throw it in here.  Hope you liked it...

Rotifers   are the only I can think of  now if it were Phylum Mollusca it could be Snails, Clams, and squids\n                                 good luck

How could someone name oceanlife animals if they themselves don't know? Do you mean rare species? I am not very sure but search it on the internet. Happy Valentine's Day!

It could be both my personal opinion is that, if nessie exists, it is a plesiosaur, an aquatic animal that lived at the time of dinosaurs.  Impossible, you say? think again,many species that have been previously thought to be extinct have been found recently, like the coleocanth, a prehistoric fish.

They have mouth openings often with flagellum to help with their filter feeding.  The tail end is thinner and is lighter in color/more transparent.  Just do an image search for amphioxus and see!

After thinking it over, my answer is...DWAIN!  Ha-ha!  That is cute.  Thanks for the clue!

I suppose, but where would its tail go?

It's a crustacean.\n\nShellfish, to the layman....
