It had been a while for me before I did another dive at Angies Place, I wanted to get more photos of some of the unique critters found there - luckily this afternoon someone called in and wanted to do the dive. We were worried about the viz and strong currents as the water was coming back in for high tide.Viz was bad but no current at all, didnt see quite much for an Angies dive and the limited time (dive time 48min @11m).


What was seen:
Two leaf fishes that always like sticking close together and around same coral for months






















Eels paired up together

Dirty-yellow Moray and a Snowflake Moray





















Geometric Morays





















Anemone Shrimps





























Nudibranchs

















... today everything seemed to have paired up together

Whiteface Waspfish



Tassled/ bearded?? Scorpionfish



Not sure whether its a juvenile stonefish


Juvenile Crocodilefish - took a while to see it and to take the photo with proper exposure


Clown Anemone Shrimp


Zebra Lionfish (shortfin/dwarf lionfish) - I'm not a marine biologist so cant really tell why the fish was reacting that way but I love the photo.

Taken at Angie's Place


I had been trying to get this fish for a while finally got it at Bamburi Coral Garden, I love the patterns on the fish and the eyes.

Octopus

This is the common octopus (Octopus Vulgaris). The photo was taken at Angie's Place; it kept changing its colour but that cant be observed on this still photo ... I will try to post a sequenced one soon. Did you know that there are some species that can walk? (http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/2147.html)
