Reef Walk at low tide


We have a TON of pictures and I don't have the energy or time at the moment to sort through them all as I start my new job tomorrow, but here are a few amazing shots from our reef-walk at low tide.

The multitude of life on and around the reef was amazing!





Giant Clam!


Snail with really big eyes!



Licorice Seacucumber and Giant seacucumber!



Seacucumber with great camouflage and purple ink released as disguise...




Three different kind of seastars!

If a leg is severed a sea star will grow it back over time!


Large Hermit Crab...



Cluster of different corals with turtle grass (which turtles actually do not eat)


"Brain Coral"


We don't know if this was an algea or eggs of some kind...


Flower Coral-looks like little flowers that move in the current. They close once touched.



At the end of our walk, the tide started to push in again and we had to get back to shore.
