Dwarf Lionfish.

Olympus C-5050 with Inon strobe.
Skunk Anemonefish - Lembeh Strait
I found this slipper lobster walking around at 23m depth at Perhentian island, Malaysia.
I used a Sony P9 autofocus camera and a torchlight to take the picture.
"Longnose"
This photograph was taken at Kapalai in Malaysia. Used a Nikon F-90X with 105mm Micro lens and twin Ys-350 TTL Strobes.
This close-up shot was taken in Lembeh with a Sony P9 camera and a Sea&Sea macro lens and an external Inon strobe. I find this set-up works extremely well for macro photography.
