I thought the morays yesterday were big, these were BIGGGG morays. Saw two honey comb morays. Beautiful nudibranchs and soft coral. Saw clownfish protecting their territory from some cow fish. Most memorable moment: I saw a crab drop dead and then sink down the reef wall, being eaten as he fell to the sea floor.
