The octopus had left town, having decided apparently that I was no longer interested. Nay, nay, mes amis! But they stayed hidden anyway.
I won't lie and say I wasn't disappointed, but I did see some shells and two Scorpion Fish, so the swim was good, even without my octo-pals.

Everybody was hiding! Even the humu...this one had just darted into the hole.

I think these look like a Mohawk haircut. Orange-spined unicorn juvenile.

Someone had taken a few bits of this yellow tail coris. Didn't seem any the worse for the wear.
Scorpion fish #2. You can just see the green body and the fin at the end. Well, maybe!
