Amazing Creatures






Today I saw large schools of fish of various kinds. At one point, there were so many silver fish swimming across the shallow water that I couldn't see the bottom. I saw two teardrop butterfly fish and two barracuda, as well as pyramid butterfly fish among the many sergeant majors.

While I was snorkeling, Lenny was diving with Earl of Aloha Divers and two other photographers named Mike and Bonnie. He took photos of quite a few different kinds of things. The one just above, that looks like a flower, is actually a photo of the eggs of a Spanish Dancer. A few more follow -- the last fish is a mystery: we can't identify it. UPDATE: he's a ring-tailed wrasse.
