For today's dive I went west and then the snorkel trail, though the visibility was so much worse it was difficult to pull out many decent photos. The best subjects were a great barracuda, banded coral shrimp, flying gurnard, orangespotted goby, and a mantis shrimp.
The mantis shrimp never came out of its burrow, so I wasn't able to positively ID it, but I believe it is a scaly-tailed mantis shrimp based on the eye shape.
ETA: There was a shrimp of some sort in the burrow with the goby, but it didn't venture out once I was in position with. my camera. The Reef Fish ID book mentions that they "live communally with snapping shrimp", so it was neat to see that behavior.
