Animals at breakfast

[mnhtnbb]

Since I don't get to enter the March contest (as host) I thought I'd post a couple of shots of animals taken this morning at
breakfast here.

This crab came to visit on the dock just below us

And the fish photo I took after throwing some pieces of English muffin in the water.

1. Awwww a baby

Parrot fish!

2. Very cool.

I thought that I liked the crab best, but the more I look at the fish, and the distortion from the water, the more I am spellbound.

3. I can't believe how clear the water is here.

And it was quite calm yesterday morning.

I waited for the rush to the crumbs to subside--where the fish were breaking the surface--and then took multiple shots. Just lucky to
get the Parrotfish and French grunt (yellow stripes) in one that didn't have reflection at the surface.

Do you see what looks like a crab claw sticking out from under the rocks?

4. Yes, clear water and interesting bottom.

I did not notice what looks like a crab claw until you mentioned it, but I see it now. I am just not sure if it is a claw or part of the substrate on the bottom, since it also looks like that.
