Pics of My Fish Here in the Caribbean II

[Bongo Shrimp]

(I have some pics from the same place from back in december but lets start with the new stuff.)

Just got back from my trip so here are the pics. I was using my new waterproof digital point and shoot so the quality is just so so even with some help from photoshop.

Enjoy---->

Half in, half out of the water:

Some weird foraminiferans?

Coolest eel EVER- Goldspotted Snake Eel. He was about 4ft long and was burrowing in the sand. I kicked his tail as it stuck out of the sand but he didn't react. He dove in like a person slurping in a piece of spaghetti.

Kinda hard to see (taken from out of the water) but there's an octopus on the rock:

^see it?

We took our boat to a protected reef where you can snorkel and see many things you normally can't find around the island such as numerous corals and anemones.

Thanks, those starfish were colorful and huge! The one with six arms was probably a foot in diameter.
