She is under the rather large anemone just hanging out. She kept peeking out to see if I was still there. Later, a juvenile false clown fish came out from behind her to see what was going on. It turned out, she was just protecting her young.

This tricky little grunt sculpin kept swimming away right before the picture was taken. It took about 10 minutes and probably about 30 pictures to get this one. Taken with a Canon SD550 7.1 MP point-and-shoot camera using the internal flash.
