Spring collection. This decorator crab is looking very stylish sitting on top of his sea pen. The photo was taken with a macro diopter and a simple torch. Captured top down to get a really interesting composition.

Hide! The "gang" is on the prowl looking for a quick snack!!!

A hunting frogfish is always a nice encounter. The fleshy lure of the hairy frogfish makes it very recognizable. To get the lure as big as possible this shot was made with an Inon Macro Wide angle lens. Focus distance 0 cm.

"Prey Stalking" part of my Underwater Surrealism series. Image is playing off the name of the animal (frogfish) with the flies buzzing overhead and how both the Venus Fly Trap and the Frogfish wait patiently for their prey

I didn't do it, I've been framed... This cute little pygmy seahorse was doing their usual trick of turning his back and looking away. However, a lot of patience finally paid off with him framed in an opening in the fan.
