Big, but not too dangerous...
A smaller Giant Clam, about 2' long, still a baby!
Now THIS is a Giant Clam! About 2' wide and 6' long! Bathtub sized shells!
A Longnosed Unicornfish, 3'-4' long, there were plenty of them, but they avoided the divers.
A night time picture of a Gorgonian Coral in about 30' of water. It gets lots of sunlight all year, and nice warm temperatures, too.
And this Gorgonian Coral lives 175' down (my deepest dive, and at the maximum depth limit of the camera),
north of Vancouver, and never sees sunlight, and is always at about 5 degrees C.
This is one of those odd mysteries. How can the same coral live in such opposite environments. The BC one looks better too!
