Toxic Leather Sea Urchin

As we creep through the current credit crunch, what with all its toxic assets and plainly toxic bankers who hopefully never get another job (although potato picking in Lincolnshire might be a possibility for some of the the younger ones) we find nature has also created its on toxins. The toxic leather sea urchin was spotted (with at least 1500 others I might add) creeping up a reef wall on a super night dive. I suspect the toxic bankers will be creeping around in the dark too and it would not upset me if there were 1500 of them either.

Whitespotted Pufferfish

Thankfully our yellow streak has come to and. Just to convince you here a lovely shot of a white spotted pufferfish.

Yellow Goatfish

Really need a video to do justice to the barbles on these two goatfish as there explore the sandy bottom as they swam pasted.

Yellow Tailed Barracuda

These yellow beauties were photographed by FOTW divers on the Belinda, a curious little wreck in 6 metres of water just of the Hurghada coast. Although a wreck its the wild life that did this one for me. Visibility was a kin to conditions normally experienced in the Tyne rather than the Rea Sea, but the abundance of creatures on this ex dive boat made this a great dive. I nearly didn't dive it but after a hour examining every nook and cranny I am glad I did.
