Aquarium and Freezeface 1/25/2020

Fitting that we would go back to Freezeface today; it got colder this week.  Water 77 degrees and I'm now in the Pinnacle merino 5 mil with a 3/5 hooded vest.  Very comfortable and in fact a bit warm at a few moments.  Better than cold.

In between big swells today but the surge is still running, so getting pics of stationary objects. like frog fish, is a challenge.

At Freezeface we immediately headed for the cave to see if the two frogfish are still there.  I was a bit unsure of this goal as soon as I got to the wall that angles in toward shore that you have to follow.  I saws Sarah B. swooping in and out of the threshold of the opening.  Never mind going all the way in to the cave.  OK, well there's a frogfish right there on the wall! So who needs to go furether?  Still, getting the shot flying back and forth past it was tricky.




All the rubble-feeders were out in force today, with Yellowtail Coris, both mature and juvenile, and Rockmovers.  Also out and a bit grumpy: a Devil Scorpion.

Here are a few of them.






 Finally, A Four spot butterfly, a few nudis, fairly common Pustulose and Varicosa, along with a nice Leaf Scorpion.





Vierginia was trying the macro the gill hairs on a Trumpetfish.
