OLDER POST:Grooved Brain Coral at the Mushroom ForestNEWER POST:Red Virgin Nerite Snails from CuracaoDec 2, 09 Comments Off
 Gorgonion Good evening from Curacao!! I finally got back into the water today and did a very short but fun dive. While exploring the reef I came across this very beautiful really fluffy gorgonian sitting all by itself on top of this big rock!! I just sat there for a moment and watched as it swayed back and forth from the passing waves overhead, it was really beautiful! I think this is called a Porous Sea Rod but not for sure, I need to see the polyps retracted for a positive I.D. I did notice a bit of coral bleaching today as well, we always see it this time of year maybe due to more rain which brings a lot of debris and contaminants into the ocean from land.
Not a whole lot to write home about tonight, it was kind of a quiet rainy day. Aimee was off today she took the dogs back to the beach again, and yes they are spoiled but it sure is fun! Sorry so short, all is well with us we sure miss our friends and family even more this time of year but thanks to the internet we are never far away! Talk to you all tomorrow, Barry
