St. John's Island - "This type of seaweed sometimes can find slug."

A lot of slugs spotted today, some so tiny only Chay Hoon can find.






Shrimps.


Floral egg crab (Atergatis floridus).


Porcelain crab molt?


Tiny crustacean.


A slug Chay Hoon found in the sea grapes.


A very tiny (but not the tiniest) slug. I have no idea where or how Chay Hoon found it, unearthly spotting abilities!


This slug was too tiny for my cam to photograph. It was found just as Chay Hoon was commenting casually that a certain type of seaweed might have slugs on it.




Phyllid nudibranch (Phyllidiella pustulosa).


Blue dragon spotted by Chay Hoon.


And I saw this smaller one a while later, juvenile perhaps?


A snuggling pair of armina nudibranchs (Dermatobranchus ornatus?).




Liana found this pair of Platydoris scabra drying out and hardening in the sun. They looked much better once back in the water.


Pseudobiceros uniarborensis.


Pseudoceros sp.


Octopus sightings were quite common.


Liana spotted 2 of these Edwardsids.




Interesting looking Phymanthus.


Stichodactyla gigantea.


A cluster of anemone-like organisms in a small pool on a rock.




Zoanthids?






Ascidians?








As usual, the corals were everywhere.
