Ne0eN August 23, 2007 Share August 23, 2007 Hello everyone... It's been a while since I posted - been busy with life I guess. As I'm currently honeymooning in Mallorca - I wanted to write few words about the local marine life here. Just got back from snorkeling all day and while the conditions are perfect the marine life is quite boring. I've only seen damsels, cardinal fish, and some sort of bream fish. The highlight was seeing a medium size octopus, and few large wrasses. On the seaweed covered rocks however, it's easy to spot blennies hanging on for dear life in the surf. It's pretty cool looking actually as it is quite amazing that they can hang on in a strong current. I have been to 3 different areas of the south and north-western part of the island, and so far have not seen any coral reefs. Today we were around Island of Dragonera and on Saturday we're planning to drive down to a marine reserve at El Toro which may provide some different variety of sea life. Big thanks to JM for watching over my tank while I'm here. I owe you big time. Warmest Regards from Mallorca!!! --Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
