Locations to Collect Chasmodes Blennies?

[Chasmodes]

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!

Yeah I saw that!! I went yesterday for a while when we were at the beach. We had a little sargassum rolling in. I got a smooth puffer that is about the size of my pinky nail a pipefish too small to tell what kind yet and a few sargassum shrimp.

I also got so sargassum crabs and nudibranchs but didn't keep them. I am still trying out how to feed the nudis.
