Dives #451 & 452 - China Creek - 27 December 2020
Dive 1 to migrant ship wreck, dive 2 to boom boat and wall. Camera housing leaked both dives, so photos only above 50 ft. Camera shut off below. Top 10ft was freshwater and cold AF.
Highlights included 3 juvenile wolf eels (2 out and about - one shot out under an oar I picked up; 1 tucked into a crevice but very curious), 2 grunt sculpins (including one out and about on the boom boat), 2 decorated warbonnets (1 on boom boat, 1 in boot sponge with eggs). 2 bat stars (too deep for leaking camera). 2 batwing sea angels. The biggest armed hermit crab I've ever seen, in a moonsnail shell. A school of yellow tail rockfish that would come up and school around me. Lingcod with eggs at 67ft. Green sea urchin with a wooden bo.

By far the biggest Armed Hermit Crab I've ever seen. It was living in a Moonsnail shell!

Didn't spot the shrimp until I got home, but they're living in the boot sponge with the warbonnet.

What I'm really curious about is what's inside this tunicate. There were two tunicates with similar inhabitants near each other, but none of the rest of the tunicates on the dive had them.
