Seahorse with Backlighting.  Finally found one in the right position in the right surroundings for this type of shot, unfortunately alot of sediment in the water, so had to remove a fair amount of backscatter after the dive.

Big Eyed Squat Lobster.  We had a lot of fun watching these little guys looking for better dwellings around the coral, as always the biggest one gets the best hole.  This one is about 10mm long (5mm between claws).  S-95 + stacked 165's.
