April 2007 - Some kind of gray sponge

  • Pulali Point West Wall - California Sea Cucumber had all its feeding tentacles outstretched. It did start to retract them when I touched it, but it would appear its under some stress. 10/26/2006
  • Pulali Point West Wall - This Sunflower star has seen better days. The exposed webbing on the back right leads us to believe it was stressed, then picked apart by some other hungry critter. 10/26/2006
  • Pulali Point West Wall - Sunflower Star showing signs of stress - the orange webbing between each arm is not usually visible. 10/26/2006
  • Pulali Point West Wall - Another California Sea Cucumber showing some signs of stress. 10/26/2006
  • Pulali Point West Wall - Sea Lemon Nudibranch with Branchial plumes extended. Usually when you approach them, they withdraw them immediately - but not this one, nor others that I saw. They were not only out, but extended further out than usual. 10/26/2006
  • April 2007 - Mark Peil, Janna Nichols, Claude Nichols, Valerie Lyttle, Amy Rhodes, Doug Marcoux, Tom Nicodemus
