Deception Pass is the only place on Whidbey where I find Glove sponges.

After laying eggs, this Monterey dorid blindly walks into reach of another blind creature and gets eaten :(

I visited Skyline Wall as the tide and current cycle again provide friendlier environment.
Couple of young Wolfies in their sea cucumber garden.

The Orange Feather Duster Worms is seldom orange, at least at Keystone the prevailing color is red.
At least from my experience. Maybe the orange ones hide from me when they sense my approach ...

Hi Jan,
Lovely detailed images as always - congratulations!
Pardon my ignorance but, in the upper photo of the red rock crab panel, what is the crab walking across?
Curiously yours,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Thanks, glad you enjoy the panels, the crabs are nestled over cluster of Ostrich-plume hydroids ( Aglaophenia spp.). I think

Another Memorial Day weekend dive with Maya.
Keystone Jetty under drizzly Sunday morning skies. Checking out the old anchor and squid eggs.

Fun shots as usual!
You've probably mentioned this before, but where is this anchor?
