Amazing!

I am really impressed by the details.

Yep I like these a lot. Awesome find. How big was the Cabezon. The few I have seen up in Port Hardy have been big enough to scare me. LOL

Great collection thanks for sharing.

Great shots - and now I will ask the (probably) dumb question.

What's the reason for the Red / Blue colour split in the first shot?

That is so cool. Great detail. how long are you going to follow them? Not knowing anything about this species, how long until they hatch?

Awesome shots, really nice job getting them over the period of time. Looking forward to more in the series....

Lovely thanks for sharing them with us

Thanks, I will check on them again this week. I think both (cabs and greenlings) are around 4-5 weeks gestation. I am assuming there will be some hatching soon. The pink and blue eggs I am thinking might have been laid down by two different females as this is the only cluster in the area and the male is very aggressive in protecting them. I try to minimize my time taking photos as he is bashing my mask and will grab my hand just as I get a shot in focus. The cab is about 6-8lbs but did put a hole in my dry-glove last week. Again these were taken with the Nikon 105mm VR, Kenko 1.4tele and MacroMate. None are more than a 50% crop.

How did you discover the eggs? What type of setting are they placed in?

6-8 lbs is much smaller than the ones I have been seeing up in BC. They have massive heads that could grab a forearm I would assume. Lucky for you they are not larger.

In our area there are eggs at just about every dive site, buzz bombing cabs is the sign. These are on a rocky ledge. This guy is about the size of a volley ball, but I agree not a big cab. Makes up for it in attitude. Has no problem getting his mouth around my hand.
