A Giant Porcupinefish waits patiently while a Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse gets to work. Cleaner wrasses remove dead tissue, parasites and mucus from fish of all sizes that visit their cleaning stations. Watch out for those spines!

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Reunited.’ See more responses here.
Just the one this week, a skydiver about to be reunited with solid land, hopefully not too abruptly.
Perplexed Peppered Moray
On a recent swim, I saw this Peppered Moray Eel zipping towards me in fairly shallow water. My response was to start taking photos. The eel’s response was to stop dead, raise its head up, and give me a decidedly unimpressed look.
We held our positions for a short while and then I edged off to one side and the eel did the same, before deciding enough was enough and scooting to sanctuary under a large rock.
The Numbers Game #34
The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 155. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

Resting goat
This goat looked particularly pleased with his choice of resting space and was not troubled by the activities of the other goats all around him.
Light show
A Stocky Hawkfish waits in a crack with a Rock-Boring Urchin, as shifting light plays across the water.
View from the bench on 1871 Trail
This is the view from the bench at the top of the Alakaha ramp on the 1871 Trail, which heads south from Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park. There was big surf on this day and the trail was getting regular clouds of spray from the breaking waves.
The bench though, sits above all that and also offers some shade. What’s not to like!
