Seahorse on the Wreck of The Prince Albert. This is the best of about 20 shots I took of this guy!

It's alwasy hard to make a good picture of Pygmee seahorses since they keep hiding as soon as you approach with a lens. This time my wife was on the other side of the gorgonian to stop it from moving away and I finally got a good shot.
