I have at least 1 friend that is crazy about crabs, so here is a set of White Speckled Hermit Crabs.

So either I got to take less pictures, or dive less 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah that's not going to happen. On a dive with Norm Gustafson and @robertgeorgopul on the pier, we came across one of my favorites: A Bridled Burrfish One of the cutest fishes in the sea.

A nice mix of fishies tonight; 1. A Juvenile Gray angelfish. If you close you can see the blue around the back fins. It seems (and someone can correct me) but as the get older they lose the blue. I've seen small youngsters that have a lot of blue on all their fins. 2. Honeycomb Coswfish Come on folks share, share and share!!!!

So I was focused on the coral banded shrimp and after a minute or so I realized that I was watching a circle of life dance. The shrimp was staying out of the fishes way by using it's antenna.

Another mixed set: 1. A Giant Hermit Crab, and this guy was not only making a mess but also was pretty big - easily twice the size of any others I've seen 2. Gold Cup Coral - found on a piling only a couple of feet below the surface. Just gorgeous. 3. A High-hat fish, related to a drum, but has horizontal lines 4. Orange Ball Corallimorph - From Tidal garden "not being anemones at all. They are actually a type of rare predatory mushroom that has many unique characteristics. First off, they are very sticky and highly aggressive. Pseudocorynactis are known to catch unwary fish and eat them. " Wow!

A mix of critters seen recently: 1. A Leather-Back Platydoris whic is a Nudibranch. what's really cool is you can see rhinophores to the North of the nudi. To the left/South are it's gills. I'm pretty excited as I don't usually see them this clearly. 2. What's seems to be one of my favorites a adult Longsnout Seahorse. My daughter says many of them die of starvation, so I'm think how to carry some dried shrimp for when I see one. If you have an idea how to carry them, let me know. 3. A really cool looking Decorator Crab. It collects things to blend into the background so it doesn't get eaten. This one collected grasses/seaweed.
Are Longlure Frogfish on everybody's bucket critter list? I know when you mention them everybody seems to get excited. If they are come dive with me, of course 😁 Last dive with Robert Georgopul we found the red one again. Robert thinks she might be pregnant. I have no clue. But seeing a bunch of baby frogfishes would be really cool. But for something to happen we need a male which we haven't seen.
