I'm not really sure what this thing is - it's been beaten up pretty badly on the bottom.

This little guy is hiding.  We passed by some kelp but there were more
docks than kelp.

From the shell and the little claws I think this is Red Crab.

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

This is the most commonly eaten crab.

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.

Apparently these things eat barnacles and limpets. Evasterias troschelii.

One of my favorite shots - I think that's a red crab and an Anemone.

We didn't close this one, but the orange color brought us over to look

These fish are solitary - they don't school, but they will often tag along with other fish.

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.

These seem like classical aquarium fish.

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.
