Just a couple photos from the Pacific Northwest diving that I converted to black and white… I should probably do some like this more often…

On our drive down to Monterey, Ashley mentioned that she and Jake had done a dive on the Smith River outside of Crescent City, CA as a spot called the Slant River Bridge. We thought about trying to stop and hit the dive on the…
I’ve seen a few of these Red Scale Worms on a couple different nudibranchs recently. From what I can find, it looks like they are a commensal worm, which is somewhere between a symbiotic relationship and a parasite… a commensal organism benefits from its host…
