Merry Passage and I dived Halfway Reef and Foothill this morning. I wanted to photograph nudibranchs and try to find a snail that Merry found a couple of months ago. Nudis were sparse and the snail was not found, but I saw one thing I'd never seen, a Furry Hermit crab molt. I also found another tiny Noumeaella rubrofasciata, albeit as a bycatch in a photo.
