- Not much to see but the long legs and almost scaly? shell...
- I think it's a starfish but what a cool design...

While diving the Possession Pt. Fingers yesterday I came across a Crab and a Star? that I've not seen before... The crab photo doesn't give much to go on because he was tucked way back in the crack and wasn't coming out for love nor money... But the star was just hanging around on the wall and looking cool...

Thanks Jan!!! I've never run across either of those before and now that I've finally dove the fingers and hope to do it more often, maybe I can get some better shots the next time out... Even though it's a bit of effort to do the site, OMG it is so worth it...
I think I may have a new favorite site...

Is a cushion star another name for a slime star? If so, I've never seen one that color...very nice!

Why would she come out for love? She's already getting it in the crackAlexitt wrote:While diving the Possession Pt. Fingers yesterday I came across a Crab and a Star? that I've not seen before...

The third, big claw belongs to a male behind her who is hanging on.
Re: ID Please
That's one of my favorite crabs, because of the beautiful patterns on the legs. There has been one living in the pilings just short of the Honey Bear in Cove 2 for the last few months. Unfortunately, it's very good at running around the piling so I can't get a good picture of it . . .

Re: ID Please
It was a pretty amazing dive and I had a great time... So much to see and so little time to do it in... I can't wait to get back over there and do a couple more... Hopefully I'll be trying out a new (to me) camera too, my Intova doesn't do all that well with Macro so most of my close-ups are done in post-production with a bit of creative cropping...
- Lots of these guys down there...

I've also seen that(?) scale crab by the I-Beams at Cove 2. Cool critters.
