I'm not afraid of anything other than murky water... not sure why, it just creeps me out.

I don't blame you. Since I lived in Key West I don't swim in the water here at MB because it's much much darker and you can't see your feet past your knees. And I ALWAYS get stung by jellyfish.

I hate the beaches here. It's like swimming in garbage that came out of a blender.

I've actually had panic attacks when diving in murky water. I always tell my husband to stay where I can see him, so I have something to look at. Otherwise, everything closes in on me & I can't breathe. I just close my eyes & slowly surface. Just can't stay down.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

I actually was hoping the spider and the wrasse would both fight to the death.
