I was very fortunate to see these two Black-Saddled Tobies spiraling upward in a mating ritual. I got a sequence of about a dozen shots before the action ended. Dauin, Philippines.

Red Snapping Shrimp (also called Pistol Shrimp). It takes a lot of patience to get this little guy to come out of his corkscrew anemone, but it's worth the wait. He'll even give you a free manicure if you're lucky!
