@scuba-licia.bsky.socialThis Dock Shrimp has quite the feast! I'm not sure what animal this chunk of flesh is from... maybe it's eggs, who knows, but this shrimp will be eating for days!

@scuba-licia.bsky.socialStriped Nudis are an extremely common sight at Junkyard, but seeing so many cuddle puddles was new to me! It seemed as though most might have been fighting Pink Tritonia for a tasty Sea Pen meal, but maybe we stumbled upon some orgies as well?

@scuba-licia.bsky.socialThis might be one of the best Grunty photos I've ever taken. Look at it's cute chin fluff! This was one of the smallest Gruntys I had seen in a while!

@scuba-licia.bsky.socialPink Tritonia (Tritonia exsulans) season started at the end of June. I didn't realize how huge they are in comparison to the typical Tritonia we see year round! The one in the first photo is actively laying eggs!

@scuba-licia.bsky.socialBlack Eyed Gobys are everywhere up here in the PNW, but appear quite dull to the naked eye. I love their pink hue and ability to just sit and chill on the bottom with their pectoral fins.

@scuba-licia.bsky.socialLeapard nudis have been historically hard to meter for, for me. Enjoy this little floofy booty in perfect focus!

@scuba-licia.bsky.socialMore Marbled Shrimp (Saron_marmoratus)! This is a female, as evidenced by it's very large tufts of setae (aka... hairy legs)!

@scuba-licia.bsky.socialHydroids for scale. This tiny moray was the perfect model to show that the Maldives isn't just for the big critters!
