Flying Gurnard, creeping along
Flying Gurnard, flaring its pectoral fins
The fins are usually folded, getting them like this is not easy
This was an unusually co-operatve Gurnard
Polka Dot Batfish. Just plain weird
Polka Dot Batfish. If you look closely, it's extending a little feeding "lure" above its mouth.
Shortnose Batfish. Here's an overhead so you get a better idea of the shape.
Atlantic Longarm Octopus, burying itself in the sand
Atlantic Longarm Octopus, sometimes they get out of the sand and stand up for a look around
Atlantic Longarm Octopus. I have only seen previously seen this "stand up" behavior with Pacific
species like the Mimic Octopus
Common Octopus, small, living in a piece of wreckage
Tiny Common Octopus making a home out of a beer bottle
Plumed Scorpionfish, marching along the sand
Plumed Scorpionfish, lurking and waiting for something small to swim by
Striated Seahorse, well camouflaged
Seaweed Blenny. Blennies have little "tufts" over their eyes and usually live in holes or crevices.
Seaweed Blenny maybe 1-1/2 inches
Sailfin Blenny. Maddening to photograph, this is a male doing its "dance". About 2 inches
Sailfin Blenny. They dart out of their hole, flash the dorsal fin for a second then drop back in
You need to find an active Sailfin and this one popped out every few minutes. Most don't.
And you need patience. I spent 35 minutes in the same place to get these five shots
Molly Miller Blenny. This one is a male, guarding eggs, it won't come out of its crevice on the
bridge pilings
Molly Miller, about 4 inches.
I don't know who Molly Miller was but the name goes back to the 1800's so she wasn't a punk
rocker
Dusky Jawfish. They make and live in burrows and seldom come fully out with divers around
Male Dusky Jawfish. The males incubate the eggs in their mouths
Male Dusky Jawfish, about 2-1/2 inches
These eggs are almost ready to hatch, you can see the eyes of the embryonic fish
Banded Jawfish. Much bigger than the Dusky, about 6 inches, also incubating eggs
These eggs are just about to hatch
