Description

Starry puffer making a home at the portside locomotive or what is left of it by the wreck of SS Thistlegorm. There are actually two locomotives by each sides of SS Thistlegorm on sea bed but unfortunately I only had time to visit the portside one. There I saw this Starry puffer which was about one meter long so it was quite impressive... at least in close range so I tried to a keep a good distance since they have been known to bite occasionally.

Thanks for taking a bite ;-)
