CAN YOU IDENTIFY THESE?These first three sets of pictures were taken over a several month period, during beach dives off Veterans
Park, in Redondo Beach, CA. For those unfamiliar with this dive site, there is a deep submarine canyon that comes almost
right up to the shore at this site (although these were taking in 20' to 50' deep).
These critters are
not in my vertebrate or invertebrate fish Id books. If you can Id any/all of them, click on HERE, and E-mail the name, and the source of your information, to me!
NOTE: You can click on any thumbnail picture, to see it as a larger image.
The very long legs on this crab are remeniscent of the Spider Crab family. Any thoughts? Also, do you know
what type of Bryozoa this is?
These fish were lying on the bottom, about sunset. Do you know the name of these guys?
This shrimp was also shot at about sunset, on September 08, 2007 in Redondo Beach, CA., and has a very
distinctive large dark spot on each side, as well as the 2 brilliant blue spots on it's tail. Any thoughts? On
June 1, 2009, I (finally) just identified this as a Target Shrimp!
This tiny anenome (1/4 to 1/2" dia.), and this interesting Sea Star, were photographed at N. Crescent in Laguna
Beach, the night of July 16th 2008. On June 2, 2009, I believe I've ID'd this anenome as a very tiny/juvenile Fish-Eating
Anenome - or Urticina Piscivora.
These were taken at Corona Del Mar, in So. Ca., on May 22, 2007 Can you help ID this fish? On June 1, 2009,
I finally ID'd this as a Pacific Staghorn Sculpin.
