The continuing sagas of the Blue Heron Bridge

[sportxlh]

I saw this at the bridge last week: can find it in my reef fish book. Can someone tell me what it is??

Whatever it is, it's bizzare/cool! Nice!

I would bet it's a Sea Hare.

Aplaysia...

I would bet it's a Sea Hare.

That was my first thought when I saw it, but I did not know that they swam in this manner: sort of a very rhythmic flying motion

That is a Sea Hare. It is in the book, I just didn't need to look it up

Their ears are why they are called hares

This was the scene in March 2009 for about a week. Then, the frogfish moved in...

Bump-chicka-bow-wow was playing in the water throughout the dives

Yes, the water was that cloudy at high tide!

Does anyone know what nights this week any shops are putting on night dives?

Thanks

Ran into some critters that I don't normally see, mostly due to turning over lots of sea urchins (and putting them back ). I have seen a few bumblebee shrimp the last couple of days, but they hide too well and too quickly before I can find them in the camera's viewfinder. Another project to work toward.
