Anacapa & Santa Cruz, July 30/31.

[rling]

Giant kelp, of course! (Macrocystis pyrifera)

Garibaldi! (Hypsypops rubicundus)

Sheephead... (Semicossyphus pulcher)

Warty sea cucumber (Parastichopus parvimensis)

Spanish shawl (Flabellina iodinea)

Blue-banded goby (Lythrypnus dalli)

(Around about this time my strobe kicked the bucket, causing some interesting effects...)
Cheesy treefish grin! (Sebastes serriceps)

Painted greenling... (Oxylebius pictus)

In-your-face sea hare... (Aplysia sp.)

Some kind of tube anemone (Cerianthidae)

Senorita wrasse... (Oxyjulis californica)

These are just the ones I know what they are!
I could go on all day with the mystery ones



Cheers
R
