🦑 #BleachedCoral in the short time before it becomes dead coral. 😢 I love #BrainCoral, and the last time I was there it was almost all dead. This was only in 2023. #CaymanBrac If you don't know it, the #PillarCoral should have been golden, the brain brownish.

🦑 Sleepy #Parrotfish is sleeping. His color is off because he is covered in a protective layer of mucus to keep predators from smelling him. Also a #Lobster for the crustacean fans. #CaymanBrac

🦑 A more dedicated person might set up a template of some sort so they don't forget the all important 🦑. Maybe next time. :P
