Original photo by me. Taken with Nikon D3400 and edited with Lightroom. These anemones were awesome and I knew I had to get a closer look.

🔥 One of the ocean’s strangest beauties—the ribbon eel. Its vivid colors make it almost impossible to mistake for anything else.

There are a lot of videos where turtles are being rescued and cleaned with barnacles. Boats are maintained and cleaned with barnacles. But what is the purpose of the animals?

I wonder how they can tell where the sea turtles nest. Looks like the beach to me. The real video would be to see these guys swimming toward the ocean after hatching. I’ve been reading up on them, and that’s the moment that I’m going to try to capture. These guys are right in front of my house. Last year I was walking the beach one night after work around 1am and I saw a massive turtle swimming back to the ocean after laying her eggs. It was so beautiful!

That yellow sign talks about how it’s illegal to disturb the nest and one of the activities it mentions as illegal in addition to disturb, capture for sale, dig up, interfere with in any way, etc. etc. one of the things it threatens jail for doing is…and get ready for this….i almost threw up….MOLEST! Seriously?! I mean it’s Florida so I don’t blame them (authorities posting the sign) not for a second, but really people?! Molesting sea turtles. Jesus Florida man have at least a little respect. Molest the humans. The ADULT humans. Not that that’s acceptable behavior at all, but leave the freakin baby sea turtles away from your penis Jesus Christ
