South Padre Trip

[scuba_steveo]

Donny and I were in Port A last night. We got 100 plus peppermints, a few blue flower??? anemones, a couple of stone crabs, several blennies, and some macro that I swear looks just like tang heaven red. We collected all that in about 30 minutes. When I put the macro in the tank the tangs ate it right up.

How did you get the anemones off the rock I kept trying and the one that finally came off died the next day. :unsure Also were did you see the blennies, did you catch them in a cast net?

Thanks

As soon as the rest of my scuba gear gets here I plan on diving over by the jetties at Port A we saw a big group do it off to the left so there must be cool stuff down there.

So what are you going to feed those Stone Crabs? Tangs? RBTA? Maybe a nice frogspawn?
