great behavior shot
Eyes of Medusa
It has a Tongue! Who knew a fireworm had a tongue. Just goes to show, if you observe a critter long enough- you will find out amazing things about it.
A side trip to Anhinga Trail in Everglades national Park. This Alligator decided to pop up suddenly- teeth and all! Far too many alligators to even consider diving there.
At first, I thought this was the red-est scorpion fish that I'd ever found, but his wing span was different. He bristled -reminding me of one of those desert lizards. Turns out, its a Barbfish- related to scorpions. So alien looking.
Fireworms have always been a source of pain, diving in a muck dive world, so I got to wondering, what do they look like from the victim's perspective? They are beautiful, and if I saw this coming at me, ... I wouldn't run, ... but stare in awe.
"I said no more pictures!" a sand perch displays tonsils as a warning- come no closer!
shortlistedShortlisted!
Headshield slugs migrate into the Blue Heron Bridge, I think a couple of times per year. Their striking colors make them easy to see, yet their constant movement makes them a challenge. This is a close up of the face shield.
Holding your breath until you turn blue? eh?? Well, it seems that a normal Seaweed Blenny will turn a brilliant shade of blue after tackling a fireworm. Hmm, guess some like it hot & spicy! Mmmm, yum! Chaaaa.
What can I say, I love seahorses.
Something ethereal about the back lighting of this Hairy Blenny caught by surprise in a cross fire of lights which dubiously occured as a result of several photographers trying to photograph a seahorse on the other side of my subject.
I love Seahorses. So delicate. The intricasies within their design reveal only more design.
A Male Dragonet displaying colors and lips trying to make himself handsome for the girls. This was the first time I'd seen one turn whitish.
I find close up shots very revealing. For example -this shrimp has a forked tongue- very strange eyes.
I just love how on a night dive you will come upon a habitat with several of these "punk rocker" decorator crabs. Each one's apparel is fancier than the next... as if they are trying to out-do one another!
The most graceful creature in the sea is a Spotted Eagle Ray. They avoid divers' bubbles. I waited as it came thru the bridge and held my breath. 8 ft across, it moved swiftly. Then it slowed. As it was right upon me, I gasped for air & it took off.
Green Razor in full dress... eyeing the camera.
Close up of a Banded Coral Shrimp - It really does have a clownsy looking face. Murder to get a straight on shot of him, but patience is a virtue.
