Lobster.
Flamingo Tongue Nudibranch (just like saying that!) on a sea fan at about 55 ft. Sealife DC600 w/strobe. Love finding these guys - normally for me they are on branch coral, but this chap was fanning himself.

This is a Scorpion Leaf Fish, not easy to photography, although it was sat on some coral it was swaying about quite a bit, like a leaf, hence the name. Taken with Canon 40D, 100mm Macro, Inon Z240 strobe.
