Squat Urchin Shrimp (Sea and Sea DX1G / YS110a Strobe / Stacking diopters).

Goby portrait.
shortlistedShortlisted!

Whip Gobies are almost as popular a subject as Clown Fish, and equally skittish. I had never had a successful shot until going to Indonesia, where they are in abundance on most whips, and a little more chilled out it seems!
