The most garden eels I've seen was in 90 feet of water in Bonaire. Seemed like hundreds of them. But they aren't hard to find at bhb either

Love the photos, thanks for sharing.
Looks like a juvi parrotfish of some sort.. didn't immediately recognize em..
He's about seven inches long, so I reckon he counts as an intermediate. It's a blue parrotfish. I once photographed one that was only three or four inches long. I've seen this guy a couple of times out near the end of the fishing pier.
awwhhh.. haven't been on that side for a looonnnnngggg time..

Made it out to the BHB today, vis around 15'. Here is a few pics, didn't take very many today since I kept moving a fair amount to make things easier for my buddy who hasn't been diving for years. Got out of the water to a storm, and got to meet Jimw! Next time we'll chat longer!
Did see the smallest batfish I have ever seen and a bobbit worm among other things:

I'm still hoping to never see a bobbit worm. Could give me bad dreams.
Great stuff!
Makes me wonder if batfish "noses" get smaller with age. . .Oh, and I finally got around to uploading some pikeblenny video. Hard to decide whether I'm worse at taking or editing video. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc5FiPt3g4U&feature=youtu.be

We saw the tinyest lionfish I have seen--maybe 1.5 inches long--thanks to MrChen for finding this and 2 spotted eels! Great to actually meet djtimmy--we have exchanged fishy intelligence and stayed on Bonaire about 100 yards apart the same week a couple of months ago--we were even on the same dive boat there once...........amazing!! And thanks to Mr Frogfish for hangin' with me until I got cold and moved on! I ran into Idive2 twice uw today and he saw the froggie as well--lightning and rain greeted me as I got out--fortunately no hits--AND, I found 2-2lb weights, that looked like they had been there for some time; just after our dive buddy needed them. What a nice dive day despite the rain and crappy viz!!
Please give location of said lionfish so the collectors that lurk on this thread know where it is.
