I only saw this eel because I passed directly over it. It was lodged in crack and not moving. I waited a while and eventually it backed out and revealed its head and a beady eye looking at me!

Don’t go out there
I went out!
Big Eagle Ray
I saw this Spotted Eagle Ray last weekend and it might be the biggest one I’ve ever seen. The head was huge. Compare it with a photo I posted last month (below) of a juvenile Eagle Ray.
Flowery Flounder on the sand
This Flowery Flounder set down to hide, though it had a little trouble blending in with the ridges in the sand.
Getting a wriggle on
I saw this Undulated Moray Eel during a recent swim. They’re usually most active at night, but are sometimes seen during the day. This one had striking markings and is possibly a juvenile. They’re not an eel for messing with though, being known for having a rather nasty disposition!
The Numbers Game #133
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 750. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Rainbow at Mahukona
Seems like I see a rainbow or two half the time I go swimming. Hawaii is not called the rainbow state for nothing!
Chained Salp
Chained Salps are pelagic tunicates. They’re colonies of individuals, each with a nerve bundle visible through its transparent wall. This is only the second one I’ve seen here.
