moray was present* After a bit the ooto appeared to be ready for food* 
Wo put in a crab, and in short order the octopus piled out after it and 
carried it back to his den — though he could not get inside with it* In 
order to get at the crab in the first place it had been necessary for the 
octopus to pass the moray *s hangout, but apparently the moray wasn’t looking* 
Anyhow, nothing happened* We sprinkled fish crumbs in the water to attract 
the moray, and he came cut to see what was up* The ooto retreated as far as 
he could with his crab, but hung onto it, and whenever the moray came close 
he would all but disappear behind the crab, having put most of himself into 
his house, in case there was trouble* 
Later the octopus became very nonchalant and sat on his doorstep in 
full view of the moray and casually finished eating the crab* Then my wide- 
angle camera jammed* When I had cleared the trouble and came down again from 
the boat the octo had finished the crab and was back in his house. And 
so I put him back into his cage. Sometimes things just don’t work out* 
We have lost our angler* He was not in the pen this morning, and the 
big scorpion looked suspiciously fat. I think this is a case of the angler 
being angled* Too bad* I should have known. 
In the afternoon I made some footage with the 100mm lens on the cleaner 
and the snappers and grunts in the cage, and then tried to turn them loose* 
Took the glass off one side of the pen, but they all crowded to the back* 
So I took off the back glass also, leaving them two three-by-four-foot
