Cleaner shrimp
Robust ghost pipefish. KBR jetty. Lembeh straits. D200, 60mm.
Yellow Christmas tree worm with pink sponge
The male yellow headed jawfish gets a bum deal. He is stuck with these eggs in his mouth for 17 days. Occasionally they must be spit out and sucked back in to cull and aerate. You sit there for a long time for one of these shots.
