i started out snorkeling in Half Moon Bay, went around the outside of the bay, and followed the reef down to The Blue Channel ...
the first cool thing i saw was this large Bearded FireWorm on some Slit-Pore Sea Rod ...
he was probably 1in wide and 8-10in long ...
a Black Grouper ... notice the much larger fish peeking out from under the coral on the left ... i think it was a Dog Tooth Snapper ...
the Orange Spotted FileFish ...
you can even see the Orange spots ...
a pair of Banded ButterFly Fish ... they mate for life :)
a Blue Indigo Hamlet ... love the vibrant blue color !
a Juvenile Blue Tang ..... that is yellow :)
i was hoping to see a Spotted Eagle Ray or a Turtle in this area during this time of day .... but i didn't have any luck ...
on the long swim back into shore i saw this Spotted TrunkFish ...
and a Buffalo TrunkFish .... i recently looked at a book that called this a "Buffalo" TrunkFish ... i had always seen it just called a Trunkfish ...
then in the distance .... i saw a small Turtle ....
it had a Remora following him around, so he was trying to 'loose' it and moving fast ..
and finally, a pretty Cushion Sea Star ... didn't see many of these this year either ... :(
