Another Nudibranch in the Bras d'or Lake

Even the smaller animals are worth a look.

That lobster is not giving an inch!

This Lumpfish was guarding an egg ball in the spring of 2007.

In March is the best time to see Nudibranches. There are thousands of them in the water.

Coming up over the reling of the Wreck in Grand Narrows.




Those little animals are about 1 inch long.

Don't even think about messing with this monster!

The Atlantic Wolffish is now an endangered species.

With the right technique, even a 1 inch jellyfish can look nice.

This lobster found a home in a piece of debries.

Another member of the worm family.

The sculpin relies on his camouflage as the main line of defence.

Another member of the sculpin family.

This one here is busy guarding the eggs.

Wolffish normally hide in deeper water under some debries.
