Haha. You've got that right. That's pretty much it!

i wish i can do this

McSassy · 01/14/2010, 02:39 AM

Wow...much more diverse than the tide pool I go to here in Malibu, CA. On our menu we have a bunch of anemones, clams, sea stars (pretty huge ones), nudibranches, urchins, some big crabs and lobsters and then the land/air crew of sand skippers, pelicans and seals.

Joce · 01/14/2010, 03:06 AM

Wow! Thanks for sharing! I went to the tidepools in Barbados but it was not nearly as diverse as this!! No cool anemones and acros. Only a ton of macrofauna, urchins and cucumbers. (they're actually not bad to eat. Very gooey/jello-y but tasty if cooked right!) hehe!!

Wow finding a scribbled angel, thanks for sharing.

Lewy · 01/14/2010, 02:38 PM

Scribbles are actually quite common here.

This has got to be thread of the month material ! AWESOME thread ! Please keep posting pics !

chrisqueenz · 01/14/2010, 05:43 PM

That must be so much fun! Please post every pic you can!

triggerman71 · 01/15/2010, 03:24 AM

Were I'm at your looking at $350 for a male scribbled. Was the scribbled in the bucket a male? Did you keep it?

Lewy · 01/15/2010, 03:52 AM

Not sure what sex it was. No we didn't keep that one.

For some reason the ones that we collect from this area do not eat too well in captivity. But the ones collected from another place. Caught on a small hook with prawn as bait take to captivity very quickly and eat like pigs.

Lewy · 01/16/2010, 04:23 PM

Added a Google Map link to the collecting places. Thanks to "Adtravels" for the idea in his thread.

triggerman71 · 01/16/2010, 09:18 PM

Cool, the males usually have more dark markings with the webbing on the sides more pronouced

FOSELONE · 01/17/2010, 04:17 PM

what ???
Lewy got the boot...what a way to kill the thread !!!

Azumi · 01/17/2010, 05:54 PM

Yep, Lewy's been banned from the forums.

And we have an upcoming trip back out to the reef in the next fortnight, so unless there's a way to get Lewy back, there's not going to be any more photo's I'm afraid.

It appears as if someone hacked Lewy's account and was posting spam. We are anxiously awaiting a dialogue with Lewy.

Wow, I want to move to Australia now!
