"Fingerprints"
Fingerprint Cyphoma are generally a rare find. I was very excited to find two together.
"Framed"
A Squat Anemone Shrimp framed by two arms of an anemone.
shortlistedShortlisted!
"Purple Arms"
I love the color of the Pederson Cleaning Shrimps arms, especially when matched with a black background.
"Glowing"
A blenny isolated with a bright background.
shortlistedShortlisted!
"All Smiles"
A 3-tank trip finishing up in Red Bay put us in the prime spot to look for some Red Lip Blenny action.
"Say Ahh"
A colorful Blenny close up.
"Purple Nest"
Two Tritonia on a Purple Sea Fan.
"Smile"
A Sailfin Blenny showing its teeth.
"Colorful Surroundings"
A Banded Coral Shrimp sits on a very vibrant sponge.
"Field of Flowers"
A Landscape view of coral polyps.
"Arrow Portrait"
A Redlined Arrow Crab sitting on a healthy patch of coral.
"Trapeze"
A Wire Coral Shrimp perched on a branch of wire coral with a deep blue background.
"Basslet Smile"
A Portrait of a Fairy Basslet. A very color, but quick moving fish, so it becomes a challenge to get a subject to sit still long enough to focus. The vibrant color of the small Basslet makes it worth the wait.
"In the Trenches"
It is rare to find an Octopus during the day. Generally when we see a pile of empty Conch Shells, we assume there is a hiding eight legger some where close. This one in particular had curled himself up into a tight ball just inside
"Trumpet Eye"
A Trumpet Fish blends in with a Gorgonian.
"In the Branches"
This Decorator Crab really blends in well with all the Gorgonian Polyps that surround him.
"Perched"
A Squat Anemone Shrimp hanging out in an anemone.
"Purple Porch"
A Gaudy Clown Crab on a Purple Vase Sponge.
"Slug Train"
These Leech Headshield Slugs were playing a nice game of follow the leader.
"The Arrow"
A Red Lined Arrow Crab resting in a bunch of Whip Corals.
"Arrow Eye"
A very hard subject to photograph. The size of a normal Blenny, but spends all of it's time free swimming.
"Curl"
An Arrow Blenny with a green algae background.
"Ruffles"
A Lettuce Sea Slug on a Rope Sponge.
"Out in the Open"
A Gaudy Clown Crab poses out in the open on a Purple Vase Sponge. Generally I find this guys tucked away into a hole in the coral/sponge, but it is always a treat to find one out and about.
