Day 2

So nice to have a string of days to swim! Apparently, these two 4-spot butterflies appreciate their swim too.

 As do these 2 cowries.

 Stripeys above, Moorish Idols below.

 Abudefduf.

 Into the tiny zone: trunk fish and Brighteye Chromis

 Yellow tail coris, Convict tang and Hawaiian Cleaner wrasses.. a cleaning station.

 Convex Crab. Hiding. Apparently, it's not only octopus that do that..

 Oops. Someone ate crab for lunch. (Not me.)

 Flounder for Alex.

 Eel for Sue.

 Another photo of the flounder.

 Grocery store bag fish. It took me about 15 dives to get all these pieces picked up. Bah.

 Peacock Grouper apparently has a different kind of cleaner wrasse...electric blue.

 Mr. Honu swam by me....

 Humu

 I am totally guessing, but these Indo Pacific Damsels were circling..I think the pink was eggs.

 Leaf Fish.

 Lizard Fish above and below.

 Moorish Idol. Look for the eyebrows.

 Octopus #2. (Of 2)

 Pencil Urchins./

 Rainbow out at sea.

 Scorpion Fish.

 Spanish Dancer.

 Trunk Fish

 Seal resting. Its name is V77...

 Yellow Tail Coris.

nice swim.

Ah, the kiddie pond again..

I could easily be wrong, but experience has shown that more octopuses are spotted in the big pond than the kiddie pond.  So guess what that means...yeah, 3 days of no octo-sightings. sigh.
I did see some cool animals. Here they are for your viewing pleasure:

 There were seals snoozing on the beach. I was early, too, so no one was pestering them. And they were roped off for protection.

 A teensy-tiny humu. gotta love that.

I found the same Drupe shell from yesterday in the same spot on top of a rock. So I brought it home. So far, no one is living in there. Thank God!

 Four Moorish idols. It's unusual to find them close enough together to get 'em in one frame.

Very shiny cowry shell, stuck to the inside of a hole.

Male Trunk fish. And that's all she wrote. Have a good day!
