A squat shrimp often called sexy shrimp because of its provocative dance. Their quirky abdominal movements, often in sync with one another, are amusing to observe and can captivate divers for long underwater time!

The incredible evolution of nudibranchs always surprise me! I would stop and watch them for a long time to photograph them in the right position.. This is the iconic Cratena_La Formica dive site of Casteldaccia_Italy_2022

A still goby looking at me with curiosity. The gobies usually stay within their territory in the rock but will go out and explore occasionally as in this photo taken at the Aquarium dive site _Havelock island_India_2023

Photograph nudis in these parts of Arabic Sea is a bit more challenging than elsewhere given the poor visibility.

My strobes illuminated this Flabellina well, perhaps too much .. but I like the same for the luminescence effect that makes the colors brighter ! Taken in Goa_2023

Cratena nudibranch. These little creatures are tiny splashes of color in the sea. The hard part is getting focus..I usually shot many attempts but I'm happy when I get a nice photo!
(Canon100,1/250,f18,iso200)
There is a diving place here in Goa called "the wreck", an iron barge sunk here in the 50s. Here there are many nudibranchs of this type named "Flabellina rubrolineata" ..very small, about a centimeter or so, but beautiful for their bright colors.

This Flabellina here is about 3 cm. long.. I like to shot them because of its bright purple which stands out in the blue despite its small size_La Formica dive site_Sicily_2022
