Ewa Fang Blenny. This little guy likes to hang out inside this railing, only coming out to mimick the dance of a cleaner wrasse and then takes a bite out of unsuspecting fish.

Allied Cowrie (Crenavolva striatula)
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.
Small gobbie on a sponge (pleurosicya elongata?)
Red scorpion fish
Xeno crab in Amed, Bali. Olympus E330, 50mm macro, nexus wetlens, 2 Ikelite DS125 strobes.
Chromodoris Magnifica if I got it right! So many species. Taken at Puerto Gallera, Philippines.
I love Seahorses. So delicate. The intricasies within their design reveal only more design.

Shrimp Goby and it's Buddy.
Not a very great pic, but a good documentation in my eyes. It's almost impossible to shoot them both togehter. Please note, how the Goby and the shrimp are "connected" to each other.
I find close up shots very revealing. For example -this shrimp has a forked tongue- very strange eyes.
Peppered moray on El Mina Wreck, Hurghada. Canon 350d, 18-55mm
Spanish lobster ( Nightdive Shot ). Olympos 7070, MB-SUB Halogen Photolight. One of my older pics ( from 2003 ), using compact digital cameras :-)
Coral Whip Shrimp. Shot on an Olympus SP350 on 29th December 2010.
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!
