great behavior shot
Eyes of Medusa
It has a Tongue! Who knew a fireworm had a tongue. Just goes to show, if you observe a critter long enough- you will find out amazing things about it.
How's my breath? I have a hot date with a tuna tonight!
It was tacken on a night dive in 2002 in Hawaii
A side trip to Anhinga Trail in Everglades national Park. This Alligator decided to pop up suddenly- teeth and all! Far too many alligators to even consider diving there.
Stocky hawkfish at Hanauma Bay on Oahu, Hawaii.
Red frog fish on the "Deep LCU" wreck off Oahu's west side.
caught in the lights
At first, I thought this was the red-est scorpion fish that I'd ever found, but his wing span was different. He bristled -reminding me of one of those desert lizards. Turns out, its a Barbfish- related to scorpions. So alien looking.
Fireworms have always been a source of pain, diving in a muck dive world, so I got to wondering, what do they look like from the victim's perspective? They are beautiful, and if I saw this coming at me, ... I wouldn't run, ... but stare in awe.
tube worm extravaganza
"I said no more pictures!" a sand perch displays tonsils as a warning- come no closer!
shortlistedShortlisted!
Headshield slugs migrate into the Blue Heron Bridge, I think a couple of times per year. Their striking colors make them easy to see, yet their constant movement makes them a challenge. This is a close up of the face shield.
Holding your breath until you turn blue? eh?? Well, it seems that a normal Seaweed Blenny will turn a brilliant shade of blue after tackling a fireworm. Hmm, guess some like it hot & spicy! Mmmm, yum! Chaaaa.
What can I say, I love seahorses.
Tessellated Blenny on the Sherman Tug, Mexico Beach, FL
Ewa Fang Blenny. This little guy likes to hang out inside this railing, only coming out to mimick the dance of a cleaner wrasse and then takes a bite out of unsuspecting fish.
Placid manatees at Crystal River, Florida, taken with Canon 50D/10-22 mm lens in a Ikelite housing
Sunset in Key Largo FL....it doesn't get much better!
