Transparent variant of juvenile ornate ghost pipefish (Solenostomus paradoxus). I think they start out transparent and as they get older acquire their colour to match their surroundings, but cannot change this colour later.
After the mating of the Sepia in May and June, juvenile can be found about six weeks later. This one is about 1-2cm long, the mussel in the rear side give some indication about the size.

Anemone fish in its anemone.
With a f/11 aperture, capturing this quick hovering shrimp was a hell of a job. With a bit of patience, I got him in focus and with the perfect composition that I wanted.
