Trip one.
The weather was spot on,the vis was great,the current was as dangerous as you could possibly get!!

The ever (rare,lol ) wobby,#41#### things are like flies around here,flies that put holes in you.

This one was near the blue tangs and ate one before getting down to them again.

You can interact with a 16 foot tiger,fight off an 8 foot hammer head that wants your speared fish and lots of other shark encounters,but these carpet paterned nut cases,one out of ten are serious phychopaths,the things are everywhere and when they start on you they do not like to give in or scare off like you can with an actual man eater.

This is one creature that taking it to the brink of extinction would be such a loss?

Rather than get surgeons out of tanks,two more were collected for the show.Most are gone from commercial collection now from the massive amounts that were there,next year may bring in heaps,as usual!

Always a space for a bicuit star for the tanks.

Around seven of us went for a big day out snorkelling and collecting on sunday two days ago and had a very nice day out!

lots of other collecting groups there that day,we joined in helping another with local tang collecting.
 
wow how big was the regal tang

great pics as usall :good:

regards scott

one or two were around 8 inches long.
There was another trip to get some more since than.
The other guys seem to like the largish ones at the moment.
There are bigger ones to nearly 2 feet long,but none of us bother with breeding adults.
One of the regular spots has between 150 and 200 in the school that hangs around there,you make a fast movement and they all duck for cover and hide with half there body sticking out,so easy to get,just grab them and pull them out,the one in nemo is just what they are like,lol.
