One Arm Red Crab

I wonder how much chance this little guy has.  From the black tips, I guess
this is a Red Crab.

Species: Cancer productus (red rock crab)

Stars on Rock

I think the star on the right is a Leather Star. The closest
star is a Troschel's Sea Star. The feathery thing is probably a sea cucumber, but with two predators near by, it may not be there long.

Sunflower Star
I wonder where that leg went. Pycnopodia helianthoides - 18 legs seems to be common for the Sunflower Stars I've seen.
Species: Pycnopodia helianthoides (Sunflower Star)

Turtle Swimming
I was snorkeling in the channel at Pu'u O Honua O Honaunau (City of Refuge) and came accross some turtles. They didn't seem to care that I was there.
Species: Chelonia mydas (green sea turtle)

Bullethead Parrotfish and Coral

Yellow Tang's Feeding in a School

This was at the place of refuge - the fish were less tame than Kahalu'u Beach, but the background
was much more interesting and the water was clearer.

Species: Zebrasoma flavescens (yellow tang)

Boxfish Swimming By

There are a fair number of Boxfish at Kahalu'u Beach and they are so curious that
they seem agressive - they will follow the humans around.

Yellow Tang's Feeding

There are a few types of coral.  The brain coral is fun but there is also a rounder coral that is common.
Where bare rock is exposed sea urchins are often present.
