I think this is a juvenile sculpin. I'm not 100% sure though.

All are great shots. #3 is my favorite.

I've got a mask on and I'm splashing salt water on myself and trying to find Maryanne.

Great shots! It's really cool to see what a skilled photog can do in our local waters

Great pics, Fuggler. Where'd you find the Yellow Black rockfish. We hardly ever see them.

 

[fuggler]

Thanks, guys.

Larry - I think I saw that rockfish on our way back, probably between 20-30 feet at Breakwater. It immediately hid under a pile of rocks when my strobes fired.

LOVELY photos! I'd love to know what that sculpin is, too.

Hi! Rob sent me your link. Wow, those are beautiful photos! I definitely think its a juvenile sculpin. Getting more specific, it could be a juvenile cabezon, based on the cirri over the eyes and one on the snout, and the coloration. Oh, the rockfish is a black-and-yellow rockfish. The hyphens make it official

Thanks, Diane! I can always count on you for IDing stuff.
