sportx--Yes, it appears it's Octo time at the bridge!!! I love hanging out with them all!
And, great clear shot of that blennie......my beginner skills with the new camera haven't even tried anything that moves faster than a starfish yet!


AHHH of course "THE"" shot -a K&J kodak moment!!!!...
You should have seen how excited I was!!! Jim and I always give too much attention to cucumbers...as I came around the back of this one and realized what the camouflage was, you should have seen me dance !!!!! However, Jim was the one to figure out there was a baby, too. I can't wait 'til I have enough vague skill to throw some pics into the ring too!

LOVE the jawfish! Beautiful shot.




Krista- glad to hear the photo bug hit ya! Lookin' forward to seeing your shots. Put em up! Let's see em!
 
Who noticed the eggs in the Jawfish's mouth? Very cool.
 
ME!!!!!! that's why I love the pic!
 
Can someone please help me id these.

Is the mortal combat two ribbon eels or blennys? (blennies?)

And what kind of crab is this?

Thank you!

the crab is a decorator crab

the two eel-like fish look like pipefish to me: by the way, where did you see them? I've seen a lot of them on the east span but have never seen any on the west span
 
Are those pike blennies? I don't think pipefish have the dorsal fin like that. Though I am known to be wrong...:wink:
