looks wonderful. Oddly the UA-cam algorithm decided to add that link to Moses Pointe golf club in the middle of Washington State :-)

Interesting video. Any idea what type of fish are in the video at around 1:30 minutes into the video? They look like they were swimming in schools. Do they hang around the shipwreck or were they just swimming by?

I see a lot of interesting and diverse starfish in your videos. Are they really abundant where you snorkel, or do you prefer videotaping starfish so it just seems like there are lots of them when there really aren't that many?

Mail-cheeked fish are fish that belong to the order Scorpaeniformes, there are over two-thousand, one-hundred, and eighteen extant species within forty families, fourteen superfamilies, and five suborders, the five main groups of mail-cheeked fish (order Scorpaeniformes) are Normanichthyoidei (Bacaladillo, Prettyfin, and Sandfish), Platycephaloidei (Flatheads and Gurnards), Zoarcoidei (Eelpouts, Wolffish, Wolfeel, Pricklebacks, Wrymouths, Gunnels, Goblin Goby, Graveldiver, Ronquils, and Quillfish), Cottoidei (Sculpins, Lumpsuckers, Snailfish, Greenlings, Blackcod, and Combfish), and Scorpaenoidei (Scorpionfish, Lionfish, Stonefish, Coral Crouchers, Prowfish, Toad Blenny, Horsefish, Pigfish, and Velvetfish), the suborder Normanichthyoidei is the most basal of the five suborders of mail-cheeked fish and is divided into two superfamilies being Trichodontoidea (Sandfish and Fossil Relatives) for the family Trichodontidae (Sandfish) and Normanichthyoidea (Bacaladillo and Prettyfin) for the families Normanichthyidae (Bacaladillo) and Centrogenyidae (Prettyfin), followed by the suborder Platycephaloidei which is divided into two superfamilies being Trigloidea (Gurnards) for the families Triglidae (Common Gurnards), Peristediidae (Armored Gurnards), and Dactylopteridae (Flying Gurnards) and Platycephaloidea (Flatheads) for the families Platycephalidae (True Flatheads), Hoplichthyidae (Ghost Flatheads), and Bembridae (Deepwater Flatheads), then followed by the suborder Zoarcoidei which is divided into four superfamilies being Bathymasteroidea (Ronquils and Quillfish) for the families Bathymasteridae (Ronquils) and Ptilichthyidae (Quillfish), Zaproroidea (Goblin Goby and Graveldiver) for the families Zaproridae (Goblin Goby) and Scytalinidae (Graveldiver), Zoarcoidea (Eelpouts) for the families Eulophiidae (Spinous Eelpouts) and Zoarcidae (True Eelpouts), and Anarhichadoidea (Wolffish, Wolfeel, Pricklebacks, Wrymouths, and Gunnels) for the families Pholidae (Gunnels), Cryptacanthodidae (Wrymouths), Stichaeidae (Pricklebacks), and Anarhichadidae (Wolffish and Wolfeel), with the most recent split being between the suborders Cottoidei and Scorpaenoidei, the Cottoidei suborder consists of three superfamilies being Hexagrammoidea (Greenlings, Blackcod, and Combfish) for the families Zaniolepididae (Combfish), Anoplopomatidae (Blackcod), and Hexagrammidae (Greenlings), Cyclopteroidea (Lumpsuckers and Snailfish) for the families Liparidae (Snailfish) and Cyclopteridae (Lumpsuckers), and Cottoidea (Sculpins) for the families Agonidae (Poachers), Rhamphocottidae (Gruntfish), Bathylutichthyidae (Antarctic Sculpins), Ereuniidae (Deepwater Sculpins), Psychrolutidae (Fathead Sculpins), Comephoridae (Baikal Sculpins), Hemitripteridae (Sea Ravens), and Cottidae (Common Sculpins) and the Scorpaenoidei suborder is also divided into three superfamilies being Congiopodoidea (Horsefish, Pigfish, and Velvetfish) for the families Aploactinidae (Velvetfish) and Congiopodidae (Horsefish and Pigfish), Pataecoidea (Prowfish and Toad Blenny) for the families Gnathanacanthidae (Toad Blenny) and Pataecidae (Prowfish), and Scorpaenoidea (Scorpionfish, Lionfish, Stonefish, Coral Crouchers, Rockfish, and Cofish) for the families Eschmeyeridae (Cofish), Sebastidae (Rockfish), Pteroidea (Lionfish, Stonefish, and Coral Crouchers), and Scorpaenidae (Scorpionfish).

A couple of weeks ago, you posted a video of a group of small, well camouflaged fish scurrying around when you swam near. When they moved they were easy to spot. This little guy looks alone and stays still. Maybe their survival tactic is when in a group everyone takes off swimming in all directions to confuse the predator but if alone you trust your camouflage and stay still. Or maybe it's not that complicated and this guy was asleep when you swam by.😄

What's that purple thing at the end? I like to imagine the camera man saw a sea snake and suddenly quit filming

Bullheads

is that a Rush reference?

Crustaceans and sculpins! Love it! :)

The creatures are very well camouflaged when they are still but when they move you can easily see them. I'm surprised they didn't remain still. Very clear video. Thanks.
