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.
