Day 241 - Anacapa

I saw this Calico Bass (Paralabrax Clathratus) resting on a rock; I snuck up around his blind side and went all paparazzi on him.

Day 240 - Anacapa

The current was strong; this Island Kelpfish (Alloclinus Holderi) was hunkered down in the rocks.

Day 239 - Anacapa

This is a Clown Dorid (Triopha Catalina), a nudibranch we hadn't seen before.

Day 238 - Anacapa

At maybe a half-inch long, I have no idea how Chris spotted this juvenile nudibranch.

Day 237 - Anacapa

For some reason, there weren't very many tube anemones this trip . . . don't know why.

Day 236 - Anacapa

I've gone diving in Channel Islands National Park each of the three years I've been back in California; Anacapa is the smallest island in the chain, but has some of the best diving.

This sheep crab covers its shell, legs, and claws with barnacles as a means of camouflage.
