A Few Rare Animals Join Me in Puget Sound Underwater

11/3/2022

A very good day in Puget Sound Underwater. Some of my very favorites and a few somewhat rare animals. The shrimp I photographed I could not identify. There are so many different types of shrimp in our waters, it's nearly impossible to know them all. It's also rare to spot PSL's this late in the year. Although not unheard of, but because the Kelp is mostly dying off now, the PSL's seem to disappear, are preyed upon, or go into hibernation(?). We don't really know where they go at the end of the year. Lots of beautiful Red Octopuses all the time. The decorator crabs, one juvenile, the other a bit older, looked fabulous. So many nudibranchs all over. It's very nice to see lots of healthy little nudi's. Finally, still seeing massive schools of tubesnout, Perch and Herring.
