Tide Pool Bail

Last week I went bailing out a tidepool as an optional field trip. We went at 10:30 pm and I was tired and it was cold but I don't regret it. We found six Bothraganis swanni (rockhead pacher), an interesting and relatively rare fish. What makes this species unique is that it has two large holes in the back of it's head. Unfortunately these fish didn't seem to do very well after capture. There were lots of other fish, mainly various sculpins. We found some large chitons and sea anemones as well.
