Yellow spotted box fish, similar to a puffer fish
Blue Puffer Fish
We saw 2 small cuttlefish. One let us play with it. The other one squirted its ink and hid.
There were so many feather stars, or crinoids. It's fun to see how quickly they catch on to you when you touch them. One soft coral had 10+ feather stars hanging on to its branches.
One feather star even swam for us like this one.
The banded coral shrimp is a cleaner organism.
I love the shells that a tiger cowrie makes, but seeing the animal in the water brings joy too!
Nudibranchs add more color to the ocean. we saw a small one like this, about the size of my pinky, and a big one, that was closer to the size of my hand. Unfortunately I can't find a picture of the one that was dark purple and round with bright green markings that we saw on the night dive.
