Coral banded shrimp detail - Canon 10D. Stuck my hand out for a clean and took the shot whilst it sat there

"Tricky Path" Whilst diving around the Liberty Wreck in Tulamben, noticed this shrimp negotiating its way through the anemone. It almost looked like it had a drunks swagger with 6 left legs.

Bat Fish wanted to know what we where doing there in Raja Empat! Nikon 7900.

Snapper at Tulamben Liberty wreck. This is a great place for all kinds of marine life.

As this ghost pipefish was hiding in a featherstar it made for a beautiful background. It took a while though to get this shot, it didn't want to let me get that near and kept moving away. Patience, patience, patience I'm starting to learn.

"Solar" I like what appears to be an internal luminescence of some of these anemone's. It highlights the fine detail.

Pygmy in Raja Empat in quite shallow water, they always want to turn away but I trick this one!

"Who Me!" Just set myself up to shoot this Scorpion Fish head on and it yawned just after i pressed the shutter, nothing happened !!in my eagerness I hadn't turned the strobe on. I waited for some time for a repeat with no success.

"White Scorpion" The Tube Sponge that the Scorpion Fish was lying on was white (Without Strobe) so it was difficult to spot. Taken with Olympus C5050, Inon D180 Strobe.

Just started taking macro shots this trip (60mm Canon 20d) ....this is some kind of shrimpy thing in between sea grapes!

WHO KNOWS WHAT THIS IS!!!looks like a piece of coral, but it's not, picture taken at 12meter, and the "thing"was moving like a seastar. when i came closer it moved back into a small cave. it moved with the 4 "legs".

I had 2 Inon macro lenses as well as en epoque lens on my Camera housing to take this picture of the face of a harlequin shrimp. I had to get real close to focus and not much depth of field.

These spine cheek anemone fish never want to sit still for the picture, they just move and move and my camera wouldn't focus on them. So I just focused on the anemone instead and waited for the fish to swim in front of my camera.
