It’s so exciting when people send photos of creatures they cannot identify! This was seen on the east side of Oahu and apparently occures worldwide in tropical and subtropical waters.

It’s always cool to see new critters during a REEF survey. Especially if you have no idea what it is! I always take a camera with me just in case I find one of those critters.

Black Point Critters
February 17, 2012 0 Comments
A few weeks ago I went snorkeling to help Ryan collect algae for his class (they’re doing pressings). There’s a TON of algae at Black Point, but not so many critters.
