I finally got out for my first trip this year, almost a month earlier than last year. We found two male Chasmodes bosquianus, in oyster shells, guarding eggs! Here is a pic of one of the males sporting his spawning coloration:
We also found a skilletfish (Gobiesox strumosus) and a naked goby (Gobiosoma bosc) in oyster shells, guarding eggs. This was our first trip ever that we found all three species in shells guarding eggs!
