Sculpin eating a shrimp. Can anyone identify this critter for me? Scalyhead? Snubnose? The distinct white patch on its back throws me off finding and identifying match in the Paul Humann coastal fish ID book.

This was taken on my first night dive. It looks like an anemone but I'm not sure it is. I've never seen one during the day. It retracted into a tube like christmas tree worm if disturbed. They are very pretty.

I did my first night dive with a camera this evening. I was surprised to find that I actually got a few pleasing shots. This was the first octopus I've encountered as well.

The first time I saw one of these it surprised me. I was changing a camera setting and when I looked up it was inches from my face and closing. I had to push it away from me. This was after seeing a YouTube video of one tearing a guy's thumb off.
