Can’t not go see an aquarium. Apart from a sad looking turtle and
possibly a crazy fish this aquarium was really good.
Fiddler crabs. Only the males have the big claws of a variety of
colours – come up and see me sometime?
Black tipped reef sharks at the top of the picture.
Sea snakes which, contrary to what everyone has been telling us, have big
mouths and can bite you anywhere – not just the ear lobes and between fingers
and toes. I would have preferred to remain in ignorance. Fortunately
shy – unless you meet a mad, bad one! We saw one of these crawl out of
someone’s dingy in Musket cove – just after the owners had tied up.
Soft coral
Assume this is some sort of crustacean shrimp. Looks like an
underwater preying mantis.
Nautilus.
