those things are blood-thirsty

Holy smokes!
Thats the dreaded sleeping split hose fish.
Those things can kill you if you accidentally step on them

It does look pretty scary. Good thing you lived to let us see the wonderful picture. Thank you. These types of rare underwater creatures always keep me in awe. I have never dove in a quarry and was wondering what I might encounter.
Arent the wonders of nature just endless? Just when you think you have seen it all - green algae, brown algae and greenish brown algae, something marvellous like this comes along to inspire us all....

Don't worry..next week, I'm gonna go back and look for it. this creature has been known to frequent the same spot. I'm gonna sneak up on it and get a shot of its belly...just you wait.
