WHIP CORAL SHRIMP-Pontonides uncigar

For those of you that enjoy the smaller things in life, here's something that can easily be overlooked. This bloke gets to a max length of 15mm and can be found only on whip coral, rangeing depths of 3 to 55m.
They mainly feed on paracites, plankton and algae.

HONEYCOMB MOREY-Gymnothorax favagineus

What a beauty..... Caught on Shisa off St Lucia, Becareful when handling these guys. They have rows of razor sharp teeth. If you find yourself in the unfortunate event of been bitten, do not!!!! Pull your limb free, this will only cause more severe wounds. Allow the morey to release you, and then seek attention. This like many other species is not a targeted catch, but unfortunatly one doesnt know whats on the hook until it surfaces. So in the event, try to release these beauties with as little or no harm at all......Thank You!!!
