Coral Cove Park – Jupiter, Florida
We saw these guys while snorkeling at Coral Cove Park in Jupiter. There were hundreds of them swimming around as well as several hundred Surgeonfish. It was very cool to swim amongst them especially when surrounded while sitting in one spot.

Peanut Island – West Palm Beach
We spent the day on Peanut Island today in West Palm Beach. Technically, it may be Riviera Beach, but it’s directly East of the Palm Beach Inlet. As the water comes in from the inlet, it flows right up against the island. Overall it was a great day. The weather was perfect (a bit windy, but keeps you from frying) and we arrived shortly after high tide. Just in time to get to snorkel around all of the rock croppings and in the lagoon before the tide got too low. We saw a lot of different fish. Highlights included the school of Caribbean Reef Squid pictured below, exotic Parrotfish, large schools of Surgeonfish, live Sponge Coral, Upsidedown Jellyfish and swimming amongst a school of approximately 8 mid-sized Barracuda’s. Very cool stuff and a highly recommended day trip.

Find the Blenny!
See the Blenny? This guy was a bit sheepish. Quite frankly, I don’t blame him. There were a few people out snorkeling on this day and that’s never a great thing. I’d be scared too if I was him.

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.
Picture of Parotfish
Not the best quality photo, but I found it to be very cool that this Parotfish had a smaller fish latched on and swimming around with him.
Scorpionfish Hiding!
I wanted to tell this guy I could see him. The colors are a bit off on this pic, but I still like the eyes and fin.
