fubberpish's Identifications

Older juvenile, which might be advertising its cleaner host role, judging by the suitability of the seastar,new rather strikingly contrasting bryozoan colonies, and the mauve mouth ascidian, as potential station highlights. The young wrasse seemed keen to stay close to the position showing in the photo, further supporting the possibility that its in host mode. However once again this is speculation. (Not forgetting, however, that its still around midday so tide has only just started rising and predation risk is low cw later in this dive).
