Banded Coral Shrimps

Banded Coral Shrimps

Hello friends, I just got home from having dinner with our friends Mark and Suzy, owner of the World famous Dive Bus diving company!!  I had to do a long minute and a half drive to their house but it was worth it!!  Mark made his famous chili and after Suzy pulled out some vanilla ice cream with jelly beans on top and man was that ever good!  They have three great dogs one of them is Nik-Nak who many of you may remember as she used to be down at the Hut all the time until finally they just had to take her home.  It was a great evening, we made plans to hide a Geocache somewhere around their shop tomorrow, will be fun to see all the tourists stop in with their GPS and try to find this thing. 
 
I worked most of the day, did a dive at 3:00 and took the dogs for a walk at 5:00, Indi was terrible tonight!  It’s like Aimee told her before she left, “be a good girl for at least a week and then you can do whatever”??  Well tonight she just left three times to go eat something and I could not find her, I called and called and called, bad girl would be an understatement!  Someone with four legs still licking her lips met my broom handle tonight!!  After yelling at Indi, Inca immediately turned into a perfect little spotted angel and never left my side!
 
I found these two Banded Coral Shrimps in a Brown Bowl sponge today on my dive but had the wrong lens once again!  I shot this with my 16mm and had to crop it quite a bit, would have been awesome with the other lens but it’s still a pretty cool reef scene!
 
Time for bed, Barry
