Brittle Stars

I can't stop:

My god! :11::11:

Ken that is amazing, so much colours and contrast.
Love the depth of field and composition.

And not to sound like a broken records but it almost looks like f**m .

 

[Jcsgt]

Wow, those colors are outstanding. What kind of fish is he?

 

[Jcsgt]

I'll be your guide. Bring your drysuit

I'm actually hoping to get a drysuit, this year. That would be way cool!

 

[parabolic]

Thanks Jam and Chantal. Chantal he is a painted greenling, pretty little fish and pretty common in southern California. And Jam, that was d*****l.

 

[Larry C]

All really nice, Ken. I especially like that last shot.

 

[CompuDude]

Yes, very cool shot of the greenling! Those little guys are very photogenic, especially if you can convince them to sit still for a moment so you can snap your pics.

 

[Jamdiver]

And Jam, that was d*****l.

Oh I give up !!

 

[drbill]

You're kidding... right?

Not at all. I rarely find this species unless they are tangled up in a kelp holdfast. Almost never out in the open in masses like you see in the northern Channel Islands. Heck, the sheephead here would quickly decimate them. I see other species of brittle stars, but they are usually under rocks.

Your Brittlestar shots reminded me of our dive at Coral Pinnacle in August, which was literally covered with them.
