A few more vacation snaps

[mogurnda]

Here are a few more photos from our Bonaire trip. As we sift through them, there may be some more.

 

Staghorn (A. cervicornis). On the south end of the island, there were several very healthy looking stands.

 

A worm. Nice color, I thought.

 

Peekaboo!

 

Reef squid. These guys seem to like watching divers, but not too close.

 

Always my favorite, and a bear to photograph, garden eels. This one had to be color corrected, because we couldn't get close enough with the strobe.

 

On the surface, some flaming-O's.

Great pics! I LOVE the garden eels! They are so cool to watch in person, and you are right...nearly impossible to get a good picture. Great job!

[NRehman]

They are called "Christmas Tree" worms. Like feather dusters. I saw a couple on a rock in the first tank at Mr. Coral in Frederick. I am not sure if they were for sale. TONS in Roatan...

It is one worm, with two feeding appendages coming out of its head.

 

Thanks for the nice comments, guys. I should look to see if there are any more worth posting.
