This little (5 cm) Yellowface Pikeblenny was a rare find on Little Cayman. They're uncommon to begin with, and to find one swimming on the sandy bottom was a real treat!

Mouthful. Lizard Fish that managed to catch a puffer fish. Watched this for about 10 minutes then went off looking for something else only to be told by the guide after the dive that the puffer fish got away in the end.
Lizard Fish a little intimidating from this angle? taken at Maeda Point.
