Excellent trip out to the channel islands today.
First stop Outside coral reef. The topography was blanketed with brittle stars. I love the colorful backdrop. What an explosion of color. |

The third dive put us near landing cove. We explored the massive underwater arch there before entering the inner reef. I found this nice Cuthona again laying eggs |

The find of the day was this Humped Ancula. It was feeding on it's favorite food source.
Its always nice to find rare nuds. |
