    Weird, wacky, and wild!

    Ok, I stole that line from the Long Beach Aquarium, but that is the best way to descibe these three species! All found by Claudette and I in the redondo canyon late last night...It never ceases to amaze me!!

    Great set of pix, Scott!! Man...that was a cool dive!!! So glad I get to relive it in your photos as well as my memories.

    thanks alot! By the way, I just pulled a Catalina Conger eel out of a jar of Alcohol, and its head did not look like the second picture, so if anyone has any guesses, let me know! (the fish was looking up from a hole in the sand in the redondo canyon, 70-80ft depth)
