Thought this was an eel like species, but it turns out it’s a butterfish (gunnel) it's related to the blennies.
Shot at Beadnell Northumberland. Hope it OK to post English fish, Beadnell its North of Hadrians wall!!!

The other thing is to do a boat dive with aquastars get martin along as a guide( £15 i think) tell him what you are looking to photograph he knows where the critters are. He may do ness ends reef also, this is where aquastars do their courses form so he's in there all the time.
He was the one that found the octopus at the cauldrens arch.

We are moving house soon but will probably be back there in 4 weeks or so. You could buddy with shmeeg cos i'm well and truly sick of pi**ing around while she takes pictures.
A small rental fee to be added!

We were scheduled there today, but got the dreaded 07:30 phone call, just after I'd opened the tuna and tomato soup!
