Yesterday we put out the GoPro camera on our first dive and retrieved it on our second dive. The battery had not run out when we were ready to pull the pair of tiles, so there was footage of me and Tim removing the tiles from the reef. Ana was floating above us recording tile numbers, making observations on the tiles, and taking all of our "trash" such as the base plate under the tile and the caging.

Back in the lab I have been looking at all the video footage speeded up to 10X to see if anything unusual swims by. I was surprised to see a moray eel swim right under the caged settlement tile. It was there when Tim was removing the tile but didn't show itself while we were working.
