We were greeted by a cornetfish, a true elegant oddball of a fish, and a species we’ve only observed a couple of times in 3 years! 🔮🎺🐟🪸 #cornetfish #elegantoddball #camouflage #rarefish #braincoral #coral #coralcitycamera #miami #portmiami #miamibeach #biscaynebay #coralcity

Copepods are abundant this week among the inshore plankton off Plymouth. Many feed on phytoplankton and are the essential link in the transfer of organic carbon from the primary producers to the next level in the marine food chain. @zeiss_micro
