Arrow Crab

This is an arrow crab and is only a few inches across the widest part.

 

Fishing boats

Not all the action is underwater. These boats were recently painted and waiting on the beach outside a restaurant here we went for lunch one afternoon.

 

Juvenile drum

The Juvenile Drum fish looks completely different from the adults. This body on this one is about the size of a dime. Adults loose the long flowing fins.

 

Moray Eel

This is a small example of a Green Moray Eel. There were plenty of these in Dominica.

 

Dominica is a beautiful Island. This was taken from the balcony of our room at the Fort Young Hotel

Biologists classify this species as an "odd shaped swimmer." I think it's beautiful and I was very happy to get a picture of this shy trunk fish.
