A couple IDs

[Scubie Doo]

My buddy and I went on a search for Lumpies last night. Unfortunately we did not see any, but I saw two species I have not seen (or noticed) before. Can you help ID them? BTW - we were at Redondo. Thanks for your help!

Better exposure.

Not sure what the long guy on the left is.

A bit overexposed but a good profile of the fish.

Top and bottom are snailfish. They seem to be popping up everywhere at Redondo lately.

Agreed - top and bottom are snailfish. The ones in the middle are:
left: Either a High Cockscomb or a Slender Cockscomb (although I can't completely tell from the angle/shot, although I'm leaning towards a High).
right: Juvenile brown rockfish

Awesome, thanks for the quick response. BTW - Janna your photos/drawings are phenomenal! I would love to by an ID book filled with them :-)

or you can just go to her site and they are all there http://nwgeogirl.smugmug.com/gallery/3126827#171341688 for the fishies and http://nwgeogirl.smugmug.com/gallery/32 ... 3307_Yvipw for the Invertebrates.

also you can go to my site http://www.underthesound.com

Don't know about Janna's drawing skills???? Jan Koscian is the artist.

Oh yeah! Don't get me confused with Jan Kocian! I *WISH* I was in the same league as he...

Sorry, pretty new to the board. Still getting my feet wet. There are a lot of talented people on this board. Thanks again for the assistance! I am trying to properly label my pictures.

Two more questions. I have looked everywhere for the attached Jelly. Saw this at TTN and they light up.

Also how does one differentiate between a baby red octopus and baby GPO?

[nwscubamom]

That would be a Comb Jelly, often called a Cat's Eye or a Sea Gooseberry.

Differences between a small GPO and a Red octo on my website here:
