Top 10 Top 10 Undersea Creatures
-
1. Blue Tang
Schools of this small, round, deep blue fish swim near reefs and rocks. Fun to watch while snorkeling.
-
2. Conch
This mollusk lives in seagrass beds. If you find an empty shell on the beach, hold it to your ear to hear the sea.
-
3. Dolphin
Dolphins usually live in deeper water, so look for them a bit offshore as they arc in and out.
-
4. Whales
If you’re visiting in the spring, watch for whales cavorting offshore on your day sail or fishing trip.
-
5. Lobster
It takes good eyes to spot this crustacean poking its antennae out of its hidey hole on the reef.
-
6. Sea Cucumbers
Looking a lot like their namesake vegetable, sea cucumbers slink along the ocean floor as they feed.
-
7. Spiny Sea Urchins
Black with long, protruding spines, these undersea creatures live on the reef.
-
8. Starfish
Look along the ocean floor for yellow-gold starfish. They’re not that common, so it’s a real treat to find them.
-
9. Tarpon
Large, silvery tarpon swim near schools of baby fish, called fry. They’re harmless, despite their size.
-
10. Barracuda
Teeth bared, this long, slim fish looks like it’s waiting to attack, but it will ignore you if you don’t bother it.
