This is a photo of a flamboyant cuttlefish. You can't see in the photo but this little fella is actually pregnant. She is quite more friendly than most I've encountered underwater. She appears to enjoy the light flashes :)

This is a photo of my cuttlefish friend, nuki! I have been diving on the house reef of my friend's dive resort and this fella always shows up towards the end of my photo dives. He always poses before my camera and always gets intrigue by lights.

I find this photo amusing. Gobies yawns from time to time, I was lucky I caught this fella doing the act while I was about to click the camerea. Lucky and amused. Taken in Dauin, Philippines.
