Had two really nice dives, despite not taking any photos for the first 30 minutes of dive two due to taking care of others!

Monster Painted Crayfish:

It must be nudi season as there are many different species and tons of egg spirals covering everything. Found this Chromodoris coi laying:

Then one of my favourite fishes, actually there were several on each dive...this one has a clingfish buddy!

Enjoy...more to come when I get a minute or two!

We call them frogfish...I love 'em so much I have one on my business card!

Frogfish or Toadfish?

Excellent pics, the crawfish is amazing!

Frogfish or Toadfish?
!

Yup, one both or either. HERE they are called frogfish...what N Americans & others call "frogfish" we call anglerfish. Don't even get me started on the discrepancies!! lol

Frogfish-Toadfish, they are so ugly they are pretty. Love the crawfish too.

Love the frogfish and the cray shot - beautiful.

I can see that cray must have been huge - look at the size of those legs. Cray season in Perth soon and naughty me may have to put down the camera for a few dives (or not - what a big decision).
