(sort of) carefully selected group of pics 
Here's some from the Friday, August 16 dive on the west side (with the camera with the 60mm lens attached).
It seems that I only occasionally run across decorator crabs at the bridge, but when I do, it seems there are often lots of them around.
I had thought that these yellow guys were a version of green razorfish, but I've been corrected that they are actually pearlies. I *do* tend to see them in the areas where I normally see mostly pearlies.
Wondered if it were mere coincidence to see these conch eggs right next to the octopus.
Ran across this guy with his unopened bivalve. He tried to hide it from me, but I swam around to the other side of the bottle on him.
Found it interesting that there was also a differently shaped (and sized - much smaller) jelly with the same coloration as all the moonies.
I get a kick out all the fish at the bridge sporting various injuries and illnesses.
The two spot octo turned white whenever the damsel attacked - which was a lot. Ross Robertson points out that it's the fish that looks scared. He also thinks only fish should be in those big aquaria, and that piranha should eat the penguins at same.
Sometimes it was only half white.
Sometimes fish even swam between me and the octo. There are lots of different kinds of parrotfish at the bridge, but many of them swim by too quickly to allow for photographic evidence (in my hands).
