Turtle Farm Mini Wall




Another great shore dive! Lots of Tarpons in the Tarpon Cave offered great photo ops. We observed a synergy between Sand Gobies and shrimp. The shrimp worked tirelessly digging out debrie from their den. In an area of one square foot we saw two gobies and two shrimp. The gobies seemed to be acting as a "watchman" while the shrimp dig out. Also we saw a flounder during a hunting run and eventually capturing his prey.
A very curious Golden Tail Morey allowed us to interact with her for a few minutes. Also on the way back, over the shallow hard pan but very close to the mini wall, we found a fish from the Durgon family that I believe we seen before in the deep waters of the 12 Mile Bank. Not so common to this area.
