When I night dive in Cozumel I always see these big coral crabs but even with the beautiful texture of their shell the shots all start to look alike. So I felt really lucky to catch this poser as it ran up on a rock and posed with the finger coral

I took this close-up of a Black tip Reef shark on a shark dive with unexso divers last year, and although the sharks left a bit of turbulance in the water I was glad that the sharks eye was in sharp focus as he checked me out.

I really need some help on this one, it is a worm feeding on coral about 12" long with soft hair like extensions all over which fully retract upon close contact. The colors in the picture are very close what I saw in the water.
