A rare find on the Ft. Lauderdale reef, an anemone. The brown algae growth on the reef near the Port entrance continues to show on the reef life. Two Atlantic Rays on the 3rd Reef outside Fort Lauderdale. Colorful corals and sponges on the wreck of the Tracy.

Divers near the winches on the Mercedes. Little sponges on Paradise Reef near Ft. Lauderdale. They were only about 8 inches tall. A gorgeous green Moray Eel on the wreck of the Mercedes. Saw this big guy on 2 different dives.
ReefScene.jpg Shannon1.jpg Sponge1.jpg
A leafy reef scene at Grouper Bend off Pompano Beach. Shannon near some reef life at Paradise. I have no idea what this sponge variety is called, but they are very cute and stubby.
Stingray.jpg Swirl.jpg
A giant Stingray near the wreck of the Tracy. It was huge! Some kind of man made junk left to become part of the reef. It looked like some kind of tubing, but covered in fantastic corals and sponges now.
