Candystripe

We were supposed to dive Hoody Nudi Bay West (God's Pocket), but I decided to do the middle of the bay. I found over the years that candy stripe like to live on the "wrong" anemones in the middle of the bay. They are usually found on crimson anemones. I checked about two dozen and found nothing. I did find a cool blade shrimp on the column so stopped to snap some pictures. As I was photographing, a good sized candy stribe started to edge into the frame. I spent the next 10 minutes watching it crawl around before going off to spend the last 15 minutes on the actual wall where I was supposed to be diving.
