I've picked up a Portuguese Man of War from the beach and stuck it in my 30 gallon salt water tank for a closer look. These jellies wash up on Hollywood Beach all the time. So I figured, why not. I've kept two of them for 3 days and fed them some frozen mysid shrimp. They water got very funky...
Check out these cool porcelain crabs that I have caught at the oyster reef in Florida. They aren't crabs at all, but highly evolved squat lobster. Lots of different crustaceans are evolving crab forms recently. Pretty amazing. Cray is the ultimate end point of evolution. Please subsce to my...
I had an interesting encounter with some mudskippers on the beach in Phuket, Thailand. Normally, these fish live in mangroves (brackish water). But here, the muskippers were in a fully marine lagoon. Very surprising. This is probably the most interesting fish in the world, because it's semi...
This poor Atlantic horseshoe crab had an extremely bad mold and has been crippled ever since. During the molt, he had lost parts of his feet and pieces of his disc (prosoma). He can't move around anymore and relies solely on the Anne Kolb Center naturalists to hand feed him. He also needs...

I took a dive at the Dania Beach Intercoastal. The water was very muddy and it was a little boring. I was about to go home, but than I've notice a huge colony of small hermit crabs. They were everywhere, walking around in their fancy shells))) I've also spotted an evil Stone Crab (Menippe...
The South Florida Oyster reef is home to at least two goby species: crested goby (Rhinogobiops nicholsii), and naked goby (Gobiosoma bosc). These two amazing fish are very friendly and Inquisitive. They came up two me every time I have approached their oyster home. Two of them even followed...
I took a dive in the middle of an oyster reef in South Florida. So much life. Simply amazing. Watch this blue crab chew his food, while the curious gobies come over to inspect the situation. The salinity is 1.016. The animals here are: the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus), crested goby...
