Big=Baby=orange-colored?

Just home - gear and me rinsed. I was worried it was going to be a bit of a cluster: there were a lot of divers getting ready. Between them and the remaining picnickers I had to settle for second row parking! We got in a little early to avoid the rush.
It was amazing! Lost count around 15 octopi - did we see that one already or is it a new one?!? Lots of little eels peeking out of holes: sharptail, spotted and golden moray, tiny crabs every where. Another baby sea robin, a huge flying gunard. An interesting shrimp with day-glo eyes I need to look up in the book. Just a delightful dive, in spite of a few traffic jams.
We stayed under for 98 minutes, which is longer than my normal night dives. Water temp 77. The current was pretty strong the whole time.
I spoke to two different Force E employees. It appears Big/Baby Daddy gave birth. Both said "the orange one near ____." It was witnessed/photographed by a professional photographer who does not want to share photos or even much info. I wonder why???
I, on the other hand, will be happy to share tonight's octopi photos --- tomorrow.

That's wonderful news! I'm going back up Tuesday morning - I'll look for him and Mama.
Thanks!

Just got back from this evening's dive...octopi all over the place..and fun to watch under the lights. Garden eels (?), and a critter I'll only describe as a strange looking worm (maybe) that pops back into his hole when the lights come on. I'll be in the Humann book later tonite for him...
Great dive. My computer said 76 degrees.

From the last Saturday in February. This little guy acted like most juvenile damsels and wasn't very cooperative with his poses. I suspected that it might be a juvenile bicolor, but Google is no help. Pretty sure I've never seen a juvenile damsel with these colors. . .
