Smaller subjects typically 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.5cm) shot on macro settings or with macro equipment that are NOT MOVING usually on the bottom (i.e. between 1:1 and 1:3)
Hard coral - Nikon D70S, 105 macro - DS160
Whipcoral gobi
look closely, the scorpion fish's eye on the coral! Caio exilim ex z1200
Moluccen Seahorse (Hippocampus moluccensis)
Flame shell, when disturbed they can swim using jets of water expelled by 'clapping' its shells together and a rowing motion of its tentacles. (Limaria hians)
Sometimes you meet the most unusual subject in a place you expect the least. This subject was right under the jetty in Kapalai behind steps and most incredibly, spotted at the end of a very long night dive ! Very rewarding ! smile
Hippocampus bargibanti: The most common variation is the red one. The yellow variation is more difficult to find, but did you know that there is an orange variation too :-)
