Day dive at Wall Beach to see if the lingcod eggs are around yet (they are not). Highlights: a sea star hanging on like a rock climber, 4 brown rockfish, 1 black rockfish (first I've seen on this side of the island), tiger rockfish, 2 GPO friends within a few meters of each other, butterfly crab.

There were 4 brown rockfish and I don't usually seem many, so they all got their photos taken.

I've never seen a black rockfish on the eastern side of Vancouver Island, so I was suprised to spot this one. It was very shy, and it took me awhile to even get these photos.

I'm thinking it's Doris montereyensis, but the mixed size tubercles are throwing me off...

Thinking a mottled star, but the colour banding is throwing me off...
