Glad to see the rock settle down for the night dive. There was virtually no current on the reef. Tons of coronet fish and trumpet fish could be seen resting on the bottom. Hermit crabs were all over the place, along with swimming crabs. Saw my first decorator crab as well. Unfortunately, it was attacked by Ernesto, who didn't believe the species existed. Again, lots of frogfish and scorpionfish.
