Dive #455 - Elliott Beach - 8 January 2021
Night dive at Elliott, 27ft max The tide was way out. Beautiful stars out overhead. Lots of spot prawns and dock shrimp, including many shedded casings (zombie army? haha). Opalescent inshore squid to start, padded sculpin, pacific cod, snailfish, two little red octopus, a baby sunflower star, several pregnant red rock crabs, one red rock digging a hole in the sand and using its claw arm like a bulldozer, high cockscomb, and lots of YOY herring in less than 5 ft of water at the end. I took out my reg and switched to my snorkel. They didn't like the exhale.

Body seems like pulchellus, but the tail fin looks too big...

This crab was digging a hole in the sand, using its pincher arm like a bulldozer.

Shedding its casing or trying to start a zombie shrimp army? ;-)

I was diving with a DFO biologist who studies herring, and she confirmed these are young-of-the-year
