Sorry I've been super busy between work and you-know-what. Haven't had time to post anything. BTW, does anyone have a photo of a Rock Beauty I can *borrow*?? I just ask that it be taken at BHB. (I have my own from the reefs if that's all I needed).

I'm focusing on some of the more *common* bridge fish and critters right now but still manage to stumble upon on my always-there seahorses. And then fortuitously ran into Jenny with a client just as we were about ready to finish the dive. Literally had our fins off when we first ran into this little guy, which is why he thought Jenn's yellow fin a perfect hiding spot. I may have taken the photos but Jenny gets all the credit for that spy. To me he looked like a little spec of floating schmutz. These pics were really just Hail Mary shots. GREAT spy, Jenny!

Hi, Jenny. Your "to be identified" nudi is a Cerberilla tanna, page 276 in the Caribbean Sea Slugs book. I have seen several of them recently, and they are so photogenic with their sharp eye spots. Is that your photo in the book? Sweet!!!
Linda
Thanks Linda, I really "need" to either get a strobe with the diopters so the photos aren't so dark (that photo shot sans diopters), or upgrade to a better camera.. Only once in a while do I get the eye spots.
^WHAT?!?!?! baby batfish AND baby sargassumfish? awesome
actually the "sargassumfish" as been identified as a baby longlure frogfish from a REEF ID guru. Still looking for dwarf frogfish.

Thanks lindai, I shot a pic of one on Friday at the bridge. It was about 1/3 of an inch in length and just cruisin' during the day.

I'm bribing Jim to show up, I've promised him payment to switch his maybe to a yes.

Fascinating. Wonder how certain he is of that. . .

If anybody dares try to tell me that seahorses don't mind being shot over and over and over, I submit this as testimony. This guy has not be shot ad nauseum. Did not turn away every time I put the camera up to him (and did not use a strobe). Amazing the difference in attitude versus one that has been shot so many times as soon as it sees a camera it takes off at a gallop.

I'm pretty sure that's one that I've already blinded with strobes. :D
 
Some of yesterday's stuff ... A few moments of peace and solitude ...
