Sinistard Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 I was thinking, man I wish I could frag of a piece of these and take them home when I saw the hugh zoa colony;) chris, St. Johns was super nice I would love to go back but it will take a while just to pay off this trip:( Link to comment
Sinistard Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 Sorry I have not posted any new pics for a couple days, been busy. Here are a few more to make up Very cool fish, some type of angel?? A big colony of coral Not under the water but here you go, there were lots of wild iguanas on the island Some type of fish blending in with the sand Link to comment
HughJas Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 but it will take a while just to pay off this trip lol - no kidding! $40 just for lunch down there gets puts a big dent in the wallet. We started going to that little grocery store in town so we could eat a little cheaper... ~chris Link to comment
HughJas Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 BTW - that black/yellow fish looks like a juvi French Angel. Link to comment
Sinistard Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 A few more Here is a nurse shark I saw under an overhang, maybe 5-6 feet long Here is some type of worm, kind of like a coco worm. There were probably 10 different colors of these This looks like some type of mushroom This is a huge scarlet hermit, I saw these, some red legged hermits and on one beach close to the shore I saw thousands of blue legged hermits.

Sinistard Posted July 4, 2005 Author Share Posted July 4, 2005 It's been a few days so here are a bunch of photos a couple of wider shots I saw several red-legged hermits I saw 3 different rays here is one of them Can you see me he changed to this color is an instant when I spooked him he came back out after a few minutes This hermit was as big as a football Link to comment
Sinistard Posted July 4, 2005 Author Share Posted July 4, 2005 A couple of fish Here is a blue SPS i saw, I did not get a good picture of it A blue sponge The new wife and me Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Absolutely AMAZING. You spotted some VERY cool and unusual fish and corals...Nice shots! I couldn't even pick a favorite... Those sun corals are really gorgeous, though. And those huge corals in the shot with the trumpetfish.... A-mazing. Link to comment
Sinistard Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 Thanks Caesar, the sun corals were awesome to see in the wild. There was one wall with thousands of them. I wish I could have got more good pictures of fish and wide shots. There was a huge variety of fish, most were to small or to fast to get good pictures of. Thanks again Link to comment

Lost her while scuba diving, found this one under a rock;) Thanks Babycakes, it is great to have someone who want to and will do the same things you want to do. The sun coral was one of the most amazing things I saw. Link to comment
Sinistard Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 A few more Not sure what this is a rock anemone maybe? Very flat I saw several green banded gobies, they always hid under these black or red urchins I wish this picture would have came out, there are 2 coral banded shrimp in the sponge Crab on a rock Some red feather dusters Link to comment
BelowH2O Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 wow, I didn't see these until now. Nicely done Sinistard! Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Fascinating! I love that big mushroom/anemone. Link to comment
DeeZeal Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Amazing pictures. It is funny how much diversity we never get to see in the hobby through traditional means. Good stuff! Link to comment
20reefer Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 That is not a anemone that is a mushroom, I have three of those and they are very easy to keep. I really dont know what type of mushroom is but are very hardy, they where my first coral and survive a lot of errors. Link to comment
Travis Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Mushrooms are classified as Anenomes... I Think? Link to comment
20reefer Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 is true, but you know what I try to say. Link to comment
