Help save our seas from this invader!

Green Moray Eel and Spiny Lobster

Green Moray Eel and Spiny Lobster

So this weekend we were out scouting out locations for Lobster Mini Season.  We saw the most curious thing, a lobster and Green Moray Eel under the same ledge.  The Moray would nibble on the Lobster’s antennas if he got too close but it was a an interesting combination to witness.

Next weekend we are doing a special night dive at this location off of a chartered boat.  I am very excited to see what quirky critters we see!
