Just took a quick shot in passing cause it sorta looked like it might be "something" whilst diving at BHB last Friday. Lots of other stuff in the shot, too, but I'm talking about the big, brown thing in the middle that has what sort of looks like a white "mouth" in the lower portion. TIA
Blue Heron Bridge, a shore diving site near West Palm Beach, Fl. I have not tried it on my trips to Florida, but the divers there seem to find a lot of organisms. They post a lot of them on the Blue Heron Bridge Trolls thread on this board, you should take a look.
I am headed to the Keys in a week and BHB is my backup plan if we get blown out.
Perhaps an Atlantic Deer Cowrie or an Atlantic Yellow Cowrie. The mantle is fully extended so it looks different than pictures with the shell exposed.
Thanks, Herb! I had no idea that there were such mantles in those Atlantic Deer Cowries. I've seen the pretty critters at the bridge *without* their mantles showing. Looks live I've found a major hole in my critter knowledge. Thanks, again.
I don't think I'll *ever* bother driving all the way to Keys, again, when such cool creatures, no boat hassles, and long bottom times at the bridge are so handy. . .
Sue:
On my I pad and have yet figure out how to post a link. You can google blue heron bridge or Phil foster park. You can click on the link at the bottom of my signature. It will take you Dan Volker's south Florida dive journal. He has lots off info there.

"They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport". Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage. Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure." www.sfdj.com
