Conger Alley

Photos from the dive site on Loch Long known as "Conger Alley". I wasn't very pleased with how these came out because the flash was set too bright and the auto-focus consistently locked on to crud floating in the water column rather than the intended subject. However, with a bit of polishing in Paint Shop Pro some of them came out OK in the end. Not my best efforts though!

	Some peacock worm tubes and sea loch anemones.
	Sea loch anemones (something of a recurring theme at this site) this time with sea squirts and just the one peacock worm tube.
	An edible crab - just about the biggest living thing we saw on this dive at 4" across the carapace.
	The site is basically a bouldery slope with - you guessed it - sea loch anemones.
	Starfish with... not I'm not going to say it, you'll have got the hang of it by now.
	The yellowy branchy tuby thing is listed in my book at Axinella infundibuliformis. I'm going to call it a "funnel sponge" which is slightly less incomprehensible.
	Sea squirts, funnel sponge, dead mans finger, and.......
	A different one - there were just one or two of these plumose anemones on top of the larger rocks, this one is about 6" tall.
	A starfish which managed to find a rock not completely covered in silt to sit on. Good effort.
