Santa Barbara Janolus at Monterey Wharf 2. We have been seeing these up here the last bunch of years in the fall. They used to not be this far north.

Bay Pipefish in eel grass at Monterey Wharf 2. He was hiding in the eel grass and was difficult to get a clear shot of but I managed to capture this dramatic image.

This small rref was nreduced to less than 5% coral cover by a very seyere COT out break7 years ago but has recovered remarkably with good cover & lots of fish life. On the edge of the GBR its well nourished and a good dive spot....and getting better every year. No COTS seen at all. Very Isolated so no tame fish around, only down side.
