Bothus mancus (?) This Peacock Flounder was photographed at night in one of our Japanese Pools in less than 15 feet of water.� As you can see, they blend in pretty well with the sand, so you have to look carefully for them. |
|
Chaetodon citrinellus (?) Here�s a Speckled Butterfly Fish.� This was also taken at night in one of the Japanese Pools.� Scott Johnson immediately picked up on the fact that this was a night shot based on the coloring.� Now I need to find one during the day and see what the difference is! |

Here�s a Sea Cucumber.� These slow moving critters are very common.� There are several varieties of them here. |
|
Here�s another night shot. �One again, a �deer in the headlights�!��� This must be a box fish of some sort.� My book doesn�t show this particular species.� Perhaps I need another book!� |

|
This soft coral is very common.� I had the close-up attachment on this day and I really liked seeing the �grain� in the base of this critter. |
|
This type of critter catches my eye.� I love things that are symmetric and/or have� patterns in them.� This is a zoanthid.� Apparently, zoanthids will have polyps with 12 or more tentacles. |
