Bonaire Photos - 2007

[ScubaSteve]

Just getting around to uploading my Bonaire photos to SB from Nov'07. As I remember, there are some winners (IMHO) but I put that to this community to give me constructive feedback (in here because I am sharing more than asking for advice but advice is always welcome).

Great shot of a Golden Moray

Moray Cleaning Station

Tiny shrimp on an Anemone

What I believe is a Stone Fish? I wish I had been eye to eye but he swam away when I tried to get a full frontal shot.

I believe I saw someone call this a Feather Duster worm?

Thanks for sharing.

Cool moray shots!

I also like the two moray shots. By the way, what you called a "stonefish" is actually a scorpionfish, probably a spotted scorpionfish. Stonefish only live in the tropical Pacific, although they are also in the scorpionfish family. Also, your "featherduster worm" is a Christmas tree worm. (I waste a lot of time studying i.d. books.)

Thanks for posting. I'd like to go the ABC islands sometime.

Awesome shots! I was in Bonaire in 2007, found the same guy right off the dock at Buddy Dive... you must have herded him towards me!

Going back in TWO WEEKS! Hooray..!

Thanks for the corrections in the names Dave. As I take more photos of underwater subjects, I should learn more about what they actually are. I appreciate the corrections and if you look at what I actually named the Christmas Tree file as, I called it an Xmas tree worm...I really just thought that could never be it....I guess I was wrong but right.

Am I correct to say that this is a Feather Duster worm?

I agree Tuner Fish. I figured that that had to be a bit of a rare catch....so I was happy to catch it.
