Moorish Idol

Snorkeling is a treat for us, one we can't always take advantage of. In Tenacatita we teamed up with Bob Smith from Pantera and went to a small reef just off the point of the anchorage. There were dozens (!!) of sting rays. Hundreds of damsel fish, including the beautiful blue giant damsel (as a juvenile, it has iridescent blue spots) fished the reef, and we were fortunate to see a few of these spectacular Moorish Idols. You'll remember the fish tank in the dentist's office in the movie, Nemo. Ardy painted this picture for grandson, Miles.
