BHB Pregnant squat lobster, Orange amphipod and mating F. Marcussorum

---

Jim and Susan Mears, Linda, Judy, SK and I got together for Linda’s second retirement celebration with a picnic before the dive. We got to quickly catch up and talk about what everyone was after.

I wanted to find that yellow tiny froggie I saw the day before to take a good shot. Instead Linda showed me a tiny gorgeous nudi that I call purplellina. Susan M showed me a seaurchin full of squat lobsters and a cute orange amphipod sitting on a seaurchin. A couple of days after Susan said that those squat lobsters were pregnant. I looked through my photos and if she didn’t tell me I would have never noticed. Look carefully one of them has a big belly and you can see the black eyes of the babies inside the egg. Judy topped off my dive showing me mating F. Marcussorum: I almost jumped off my scuba gear I was so happy to see the stunning sight. Thanx so much to Susan M and Judy! now I have to work really hard to find them cool subjects and pay back the great findings ;)
