Another photo I've taken of a mantis shrimp hiding in his cave. Taken in Anilao, Philippines.
The image was obtained by placing in situ a plexiglass, handled by an assistant and lighted by a strobe, behind the fish. All was done carefully and lasted a few seconds, to not disturb the animal (Scorpaena notata, Cap Martin, Roquebrune, France),
