Devilfish or Western Blue Devil. Photo taken in Esperance, Western Australia (sea = Great Australian Bight)using Coolpix 990, Ikelite housing and Pro II video lite. Maybe not the best fish portrait, but I just love the colours

Ready to pounce! I'd be happy to be told what this fish is, some kind of goby I suppose. Taken with a Canon S70, Y60 flash manual exposure.

Greater pipefish. 60mm.
