Wilmington Dive and Weather Conditions

The REEF surveys list 118 species identified on the Hyde. I think that number is now slightly higher.

How about this one, what kind of blenny is this cute little one poking out of the small hole of the wreck? Seaweed blenny?

Cool! Thanks! The way it likes to sit on corals or walls, it reminds me of hawkfish.

Had to look up hawkfish. Cute. Have not seen one of those.

Dark version of the seaweed or the crested. Those are the two we usually see. Hard for me to tell. With seaweed I would expect to see lines on face a bit more clearly. Also cirri do not appear to have several branches. I would lean to crested. But not a blenny expert.

How about this one?

Now I would agree, Seaweed Blenny.
