Aloha! Today we saw a Lizard Fish hanging out with a Chromis in his mouth. And the Chromis was still breathing! The Lizard fish was working on the long, slow crush. We also found some Whip Coral Gobies (on a whip coral, of course), a Spotted Eagle Ray, a Tiger Cowrey, Octopus, many Moray Eels, a Frog Fish, a huge school of Cornet Fish (50-70 of them!!!) and Picasso Trigger Fish.... aka: Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, in Hawaiian. (the fish with a nose like a pig), aka: the state fish of Hawai'i. dived: Mike's Reef, Nai'a Bay.
