Bearded Fireworm - Up Close
Barracuda – Up Close
This guy was lurking around and moved from rock to rock. It was a bit daunting considering how murky the water was and the fact these guys aren’t startled by humans.
Picture of Juvenile Dusky Damselfish
This isn’t the greatest quality pic, however, the fish is pretty cool. It’s a juvenile Dusky Damselfish. Although vibrant as a juvenile, they grow to be a simple dark chocolate color.
Picture of Flounder Hiding Under Water
We almost didn’t see this guy. He thought he had a good hiding spot, however, we saw him just hanging out on the bottom.

I was able to get pretty close to this guy. I think he thought that we couldn’t see him. We almost didn’t!
Picture of Flounder Swimming
This guy tolerated a few pictures and then took off. I followed for a few yards, but he kicked it into high gear and smoked me.
Hermit Crab – Up Close
This photo was taken today at Red Reef Park in Boca Raton. It wasn’t a great day for snorkeling due to choppy conditions and murky water, however, I’m very pleased with this shot.
Photo Of Saltwater Hermit Crab
This is the same Hermit Crab that’s in the Close Up Shot.
Photo of Hairy Blenny
This Hairy Blenny was just hanging out on the rocks. She stayed nice and still until I got too close and then bolted to the underside of the boulder. They have such personalities!
Some Type of Jellysomething
This isn’t really a Jellysomething, it’s a Sea Walnut. This isn’t the greatest picture, but thought it was unique and cool enough to post. It’s hard to get a good picture of floating objects in a choppy surf.
