You're not my type.

Post by PeninsulaDiver »

Found these guys at Ed's Fault in Disco Bay today. Sorry for the crappy video, I really need a new camera.

If you look really close, you will see the head of a small Tiger Rockfish at the bottom then a Red Brotula appears from the top. The Red Brotula heads down to check out the Tiger and decides that it's not their type. I hope my presence didn't ruin a potential love affair. :penelope:

Imagine a "Red Tiger Brotula Rockfish". How cool would that be?

Discovery Bay - right around the corner from and to the west of Port Townsend.

Anyone want to post coordinates? I'm not seeing anything on the charts that suggests steep rocky structure in Discovery Bay, but I'd like to add this as a fall-back possibility next time we launch from Keystone to dive the DK.
