Conger Alley

Photos from the dive site on Loch Long known as "Conger Alley". I wasn't very pleased with how these came out because the flash was set too bright and the auto-focus consistently locked on to crud floating in the water column rather than the intended subject. However, with a bit of polishing in Paint Shop Pro some of them came out OK in the end. Not my best efforts though!

2007-03-24_Conger_Alley_0001.jpg Sea loch anemones (something of a recurring theme at this site) this time with sea squirts and just the one peacock worm tube.
2007-03-24_Conger_Alley_0002.jpg An edible crab - just about the biggest living thing we saw on this dive at 4" across the carapace.
2007-03-24_Conger_Alley_0004.jpg The site is basically a bouldery slope with - you guessed it - sea loch anemones.
2007-03-24_Conger_Alley_0005.jpg Starfish with... not I'm not going to say it, you'll have got the hang of it by now.
2007-03-24_Conger_Alley_0006.jpg The yellowy branchy tuby thing is listed in my book at Axinella infundibuliformis. I'm going to call it a "funnel sponge" which is slightly less incomprehensible.
2007-03-24_Conger_Alley_0007.jpg Sea squirts, funnel sponge, dead mans finger, and.......
2007-03-24_Conger_Alley_0009.jpg A different one - there were just one or two of these plumose anemones on top of the larger rocks, this one is about 6" tall.
2007-03-24_Conger_Alley_0010.jpg A starfish which managed to find a rock not completely covered in silt to sit on. Good effort.
