Cool shot of the swimming moray and the face of a lionfish!

I hate to even say this, but this is the best picture of a lionfish I've ever seen! Of course...the only GOOD lionfish is a DEAD lionfish, BUT...

Wow: neat pictures. The moray/diver picture is pretty cool. I was in Key Largo last weekend for MLK day and conditions were pretty bumpy for a couple of the days.

Thank you sportxlh. Yes, it has been bumpy for a while here. Eel was a lot of fun - moving pretty fast from one section of the reef across a sand patch to another patch.

Love the Spotted Trunkfish, much less common than the Smooth Trunkfish
