Queen Angelfish on the Superior Producer

This Queen Angelfish was near the bow of the wreck of the Superior Producer. The Superior Producer is a cargo ship that went down in 1977 just off the harbor of Willemstad.  It's keel set about 110' below sea level.  Because of it's depth, the dive time is very short on the dive only about 20 minutes.

A little Eel

This little guy was just poking his head out of a piece of coral. Not sure the species. 

Scorpionfish

A member of the Rockfish family.  Their dorsal fins are poisonous.

 

French Angelfish

This pair was very friendly and not frightened away easily.

Black and White Crinoid

This is my first spotting of this animal.  It's related to a star fish, but has 40 arms. I looked closely and it was feeding something into it's mouth with all the little arms.

Queen Angelfish

The little crown on his/her head is how you can tell.

Nurse Shark

This one was sleeping tucked under some coral.  Couldn't get a good shot of his nose.  But, this proves I saw one.

Spanish Lobster

You usually only see these on night dives, but I saw several of these during the day this week.  The antennae are the shovel shaped things at the front.  They are similar to the Slipper Lobster which we saw on the night dive.

Klein Curacao

One of the dive trips was to the small island of Klein Curacao.  It's uninhabited now, so the reefs are in great shape.  After the second dive, we swam ashore and walked to the old lighthouse, and to the other side where there was a ship wreck.
