Mating dumpling squid. A very unusual find that was spectacular to watch.
Nikon d80, 60mm, ds 51 strobes
We drove 14 hours straight to find the leafy sea dragon. It was worth every minute of the drive. They really are the most incredible fish. Watching them move so peacefully throughout their habitat is something I'll always remember.
