Odd Couple

Well, it's not a Leafy SeaDragon (which were incredible!) but here is one of my favorite shots of the last couple of months. This medium sized octo decided to hang out in this Wolf Eel's den. The Wolfie was not too pleased and they were having a little turf war!

And this is a Juvenile Wolf Eel that I think turned out just great. I adjusted the contrast just a bit and cleaned up some backscatter.

Where were these taken?

Where were these taken?

Both of these were taken in south Puget Sound, out of Tacoma Wa. (I live about 30 minutes away in Seattle) The octo/wolfie pair was at a site called Sunrise Beach, and the Juvi Wolf was on Dalco Wall. Sunrise is great because you are pretty much guaranteed to see Wolf Eels and Octos on every visit. It's a bit over-dived as a result...

Dave - The first one is an extraordinary interaction photo. Really cool!
