Tropical strays and pipefish Cap tree park

[homegrowncichlid]

Went snorkaling Wednesday and guess what I found!! Had hypothermia as the tide was coming in and I checked my watch, I was in the water for 2 hours. Warmed up in the 90 degree weather and went back in for another hour, since I saw where a few others where hanging out! By high tide, I couldn't get deep enought anymore. Finally went to the boat launch to catch a bag of feeder shrimp and seaweed (hopefully full of pods). The pipefish are already eating frozen mysis. The doctorfish is on cyclopeeze and mysis, the butterflies, well, they are foraging off the bag of stuff in the weeds.

Those are cold water pipefish and will surely die in a few days to a few weeks. There are many of them in our oceans along with sea horses and better off leaving them where they are

Yes, along the pier in the sponges/mussle area. The tang was with the pipefish in a seaweedy area. Now I just have to find out where the angelfish hang out.
