Small eel leading the pack:
Casper is growing up:
The "Throne of Frog":
Passing by the Throne:
"Wee One" at the surface:
Roi that keeps company with Wee One:
I saw this large juevnile yellowtail coris on July 28 and took this shot thinkin it would soon be in transition:
Sure enough, on August first:
A young coris nearby provides an examle of what the adult coloration looks like.
August second a shot of the coris:
August third was the last day I saw the coris in its nursery and on that day it was taking short swims beyond the
security of the grotto in which it had been residing.
On August 7, I encountered the coris in a hole at the waters edge about 10' from where it had hung in the nursery:
On August 13, I found the coris in the same area and now only in its face can the juvenile coloration be seen:
August 14:
Leaf Scorpion near Wee's cave:
Seems to be only one dart out there these days and not see that often:
Nearby Throne occupied:
Wee's cavemate:
And a guest (difficult to make out but the Roi is to the left of the puffer and Wee the turtle is behind the puffer) :
Wee coming to the surfaced after getting bumped by the roi:
And then back resting again with the puffer guarding the entrance:
Chained Salps:
Close in zoom from above image (it appears that there are twin jet tubes in a salp):
