Still in the mollusk family and closely related to nudibranchs, Leech Aglaja (Chelidonura hirundinina) are considered “headshield slugs”. This is a species that I’ve looked for a while now and during my last visit to Florida were very plentiful at The Bridge.
A fairly common resident at the Blue Heron Bridge, I had plenty of photos of these Yellowline Arrow Crabs (Stenorhynchus seticornis).
Some photos of Leopard Nudis (Risbecia tryoni) from Bali…
A couple different species of Gallinules here. Both Common and Purple. The Common Gallinules seem to have only the red on their forehead crest and have a white strip on their sides, while the Purple Gallinules have the light blue on their foreheads and tend…
When they are young, Wolf Eels are reddish in colour…

Found this little guy hanging out in an old beer bottle in Washington…
There’s just something about these couple fleeting shots I managed of this White-crowned Sparrow in the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area outside of St. George, UT…
I recently watched this video about seahorses on Youtube, so it reminded me I have a handful of seahorse close-ups to share… enjoy.

Ok – not to disparage the Striated Frogfish (Antennarius striatus) which is the one I found most commonly while diving at the Blue Heron Bridge, here is an assortment of photos of them…
While we’re on the subject of Frogfish… these ones were not common, and I only got to see them once (despite returning to the same location a couple more times to try and find them again for more photos). There were three individuals and the…
Before frogfish became an almost common thing for me while diving at the Blue Heron Bridge, they were an extremely rare critter to find. During my various diving in Bali, we managed to find several different ones…
