I admit it: I like gobies. These amazing little fish when they are illuminated they show off bright colors on their little bodies. An assortment of beautiful metallic blue spots, bright red-orange lines, bars, & others.
(Canon100,1/200,f16,i.100)
Another photo of this small creature that roams the rocky terrain of Havelock Is. named Bedford's Flatworm , or Persian rug. It’s beauty is not only in how it looks but also in how it moves. Beautiful evolutions!

Microlife on the Andamans reef.Here we see a beautiful Blenny close-up . Abundant and highly biodiverse, these species mature early, produce many offspring and they are a vital food source for other marine creatures.

Anemone fishes are immune to anemone's tentacles from day 1. It is a mutually beneficial relationship in which the anemone feeds from the fish dejection while the fish gets shelter from predators_Havelock Is._2023

For me nudibranchs-hunting is like collecting stamps..You always want to find new ones for your private collection. This is Thuridilla multimarginata (really very small) photographed in the Aquarium dive site of Havelock Island_Andamans-India_2023
A large chunk of coral life is tiny, lesser known, easily hidden creatures. These include both sessile (fixed in one place) and mobile reef invertebrates, as well as the itty bitty reef fish like this in the photo_2023

These worms live inside corals where they hide from predators. Their bodies stay hidden except their colorful crowns which are feather-like appendages that resemble fir trees , giving Christmas tree their name.
(Canon60,1/200,f/13,iso100)
A squat shrimp often called sexy shrimp because of its provocative dance. Their quirky abdominal movements, often in sync with one another, are amusing to observe and can captivate divers for long underwater time!
