My guys -- we have finished snorkeling and are sailing over to Nevis to have some fun on the beach!
Coral-- the coral was healthy and vibrant here!
They call these sea lilies! (the brown and white sea anenome looking thing).
I could have spend several hours exploring this reef system-- just gorgeous!
You can see the little yellow cleaner wrass in this photo. The bigger fish would come over and these little guys would go to work cleaning off parasites and dead scales.
The white things are Christmas Tree worms. When you move your hand over them they pop back into the coral. Wait a few minutes and they pop right back out to glean food from the water.
This guy is a trumpet fish. They hang out by the bottom waiting for fish to swim by overhead and then they eat them. This guys was about 3 1/2 feet long. Very cool fish.
Okay, now those Christmas tree worms are too cool! Great captures.
ReplyDeleteWOW! One of my most favorite things to do in the world--snorkeling in warm places! You got some great shots, and nice job on the identifying all the little critters you saw! (As much as I love doing this, I always have to seize hold of my head and try not to think about "Untold Stories of the ER" or other such shows when encountering teensy critters.)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
