🔥 Fire Urchin trying to make its way across the ocean bottom. So close but so far away. A day at Tiger Shark Zoo. #Basslets with a little extra filter 😂 I love how this Blue-Spotted Stingray tried to push the Lizzardfish away. However, the Lizzardfish was unbothered and waiting for a free meal. Getting ready for morning dives! Today's the first day of spring for New York'ers. Looking forward to warmer weather. #coral Giant stride off of a liveaboard!
