The lobster traps captured some of these hermit crabs (upper left) which have anemones covering their shells. The anemones and crab share a relationship called symbiosis, which means they benefit from associating with one another. In this case, the hermit crab is camouflaged by the anemones and the anemone's stinging tentacles, may protect the crab from its enemies. The anemones benefit by receiving a ride to different food sources. The upper center picture is of a baby octopus that was hiding in a rock the divers brought to the surface. The upper right picture is of one of our crew members (John Kornstein) who tried to rescue a flying fish that flew onto one of our bridge wings (20 feet above the water). Here John is considering mouth to mouth resuscitation. The lower picture is of Tern Island with La Perouse Pinnacle to the right. The rocky pinnacle is the last remaining section of the original island that has now become French Frigate Shoals. The original island was probably similar in size to Oahu (the island containing Honolulu) and over the millions of years, has slowly sunk back into the sea to be over grown with corals. Most of the small islands on today's reef are formed where the currents and wave action, push sand together to form an island (which is what Tern Island is). The pinnacle is the hard core of one of the original volcanoes which formed the original volcanic island. It is now home to countless sea birds that use it for nesting. Someday in the far, far future, Oahu will look similar to French Frigate Shoals.
