010IR1034829.JPG A school of yellow fish swimming amidst the coral	020IR1048717.JPG Two of my favorite little blue-green fish	030IR1096525.JPG A tiny dotted blue fish in the upper left, a blue and yellow mid-left, and a sea urchin lower right, all in the coral
040IR1150637.JPG A nice size comparison of the little polka-dot fish, the blue-green, and the yellow school fish	050IR905133.JPG Three cute little fish swimming by the staghorn (?) coral. Ellen noticed what may be a moray sticking out below the fish.	060IR1261165.JPG Black and white sea urchins living in harmony
070IR6573.JPG Sea urchins were everywhere, and cause a nasty sting from any of their venomous spines	080IR1608365.JPG Some of the sea urchins were red under their spines, but they were all to be avoided	100IR588493.JPG Only 10 of the squid. They wouldn't let me get too close
110IR617101.JPG And then there were nine, but I was getting closer	120IR624461.JPG The squid have a distinct line along their tops. They probably curl their tentacles when they stop, but they never did while I was watching them	125IR681549.JPG The squid slightly closer, down to eight in this picture (I was not making calamari!)
130IR653549.JPG Getting closer to one of the squid	140IR1469197.JPG The Daddy squid, as close as I could get	150IR1481837.JPG A cuttlefish!
160IR1495789.JPG Side view of the cuttlefish. I think we was watching me	170IR1502829.JPG The cuttlefish looked much more solid than the squid, and was bigger than the Daddy squid	180IR1530605.JPG When the cuttlefish swam away, his tentacles straighten out
190IR1568909.JPG When meandering around, the cuttlefish has a wrap-around flap he uses to navigate with	200IR1321965.JPG A flounder lying on the seafloor	210IR1622925.JPG The flounder gets up to get away from me, but he never gets far from the bottom
220IR1637005.JPG Flounder as far from the bottom as he gets	240IR718093.JPG A jellyfish, but not the one that stung Sharon	360IR114125.JPG Sharon just before the man of war tentacle caught her on her cheek below the mask
