The continuing sagas of the Blue Heron Bridge

I agree Jenny. There's something about your fish that makes it not look like a lantern bass. Did you get a good shot of its tail? Lantern basses have smooth, curved tails (lunate?), and in your picture it looks like the tail is jagged. Also, the head and back look different. And lastly - it's missing the yellow "lantern" spots.

I'll bet the Name That Critter folks can ID it.

Agreed. I think there are two different bass being discussed. I wuz talking about the "non-puddingwife" bass.

Looks like a Polycate worm

Wow. A Google image search for "Polychaete worm" was most edifying - and yuckifying.

Also explains a lot of what I saw on a night dive a few years ago. . . IMG_9043bacs | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Further Googling yielded this handy site (new to me, probably old hat to many): The Sea Slug Forum - Home Page

Hi gang,

Haven't dove BHB in a while, and starting to Jones a bit.

Does anyone have a link to the tide tables we're using? The one I was using doesn't work.

thanks!

A few weeks ago when KP, KW and I discovered the baby daddy and momma seahorse pair. Me desperately trying to back peddle (and not bump into anything) as she swam straight at me. My third underwater attempt with the new Flip camera.
