Larva of a Firefly from the Genus Pyractomena, would be my guess. I don't know specific species http://bugguide.net/node/view/748294
These are difficult to ID. I think it's the suggested species based on range and the shape and size of the light that you show in the last pic.
Might that be a West Indian Sea Egg (Tripneustes ventricosus) instead? I think the Variegated usually have much more green or purplish spines on a greener shell, instead of white against dank background. Both Urchins common here.
Also, the symbol should be changed from the dragonfly to the starfish as snails are not arthropods.
I went to bugguide to help with id and I believe I found your pictures. It was already IDed there, so I'll go with that.
Thanks everyone. I enjoyed my stay in Curacao very much and this reef area right off the beach was surprisingly full of interesting life.
Can't tell details very well. It looks like a Brown Widow, or a Western Black Widow, not sure. Look through the widow spiders.

Need help from the Hawk expert out there. I normally see Red-shouldered. However this doesn't look like one to me, but not sure. Is it a Cooper's or perhaps Sharp-shinned? Thanks for the help.
