A Rock Crab and a bunch of Sea Stars make a meal of a young Mola that's been turned into a frisbee by Sea Lions.
My wife waved her light at this Fringehead for two minutes before it retreated into it's hole and I spotted the change of scenery. Those are Strawberry Anemones around it, and looking at it's fringe I thought it was just another one. The little Anemones are about half the size of a dime.

These big ugly crabs are just not photogenic, no matter the background. Most of the time they blend so well you can't even tell that they're in the picture
