A fun Saturday night with the Bernards

Went to Redondo last night instead of Titlow after Chris' car wouldnt start.. It was Chris , Jared & I - Marty was Beach boy AGAIN.. He enjoyed our dive time by having a drink at Saltys and taking KC for a walk on the boardwalk.. here are some things I saw:

Im not sure if this is a Opalescent Nudibranch or a Red Flabellina it looks like a Red , but has the head strip, so Im not sure

If you look hard - there are some skeleton shrimp on the eelgrass.

I was excited to find this Multicolored Dendronotid ! This was the second one I have seen at Redondo in a year.. However I find it quite challenging to get a good picture of them.. but this is what I got.

Heres the eggs I found - and the daddy who was guarding them . I was sure glad he was not quite protective as the Ling cod I ran into last spring!

There seems to be an explosion of gunnels at Redondo.. I remember the first time I saw one - I was SO excited! I remember when I first got my camera, Marty pointed out every gunnel he saw on a dive at Titlow! Now I see them pretty much every dive...

After this easygoing dive, we headed home & I took a bath & put on my jammies.. I was thinking Stuart was out in the living room with Marty , the gate in the hall was closed- so I quitely let KC into the dogs room to put him in his crqate & feed him. After flipping on the light , I saw it too late - STUART was in there on a bed!

He looked for one second before pouncing on KC & tearing into his back !! I did the best I could to get him off KC while screaming for Marty to come & help . I panicked & tried to pry Stuarts jaws off KC.. here is the damage...
