This eight inch long Red Abalone lived on the side of a reef ledge off Coal Oil Point in about 15ft of water. It was right near the spot where I'd enter the water, so for about two years I fed this abalone a piece of kelp on nearly every dive. In this photo, it's happily munching on a piece of macrocystis. Unfortunately, it dissapeared after a large swell in January of 2019.
