OK! I had to add a new pic that I took a few days ago of this beautiful seahorse - never have I seen one this color... Gay, from Pirate's Point, showed me the area that he had been seen in, and I managed to find him at the end of the dive. BTW, we have named him "Peachy". No wonder why...

Oh yes, Nancy T came for a surprise visit this past week from WA and of course, we took a couple of beers to Salt Rock dock for the sunset...

***DANGER***
DO NOT try this at home! If you find a scorpionfish in your backyard (or pool) this summer, do NOT pick it up, as it can inflict a very venomous/deadly wound via its dorsal fin!! Only to be done by trained professionals!!

Yes, another seahorse was spotted at Mixing Bowl yesterday! We found it at 40 feet and it was moving from a gorgonian to a sponge in slow motion.

Hey - we found another juvenile trunkfish today on Paul's Anchors... different colors, different species?? We are thinking that it is a juv spotted trunkfish, rather than a smooth trunkfish. Any ideas??
