Loch's Chromodoris from Taveuni, Fiji. We saw quite a few of these in the Somo Somo Straits and refered to them as "Toothpaste" Nudibranch. Everyone knew what you meant. Canon A70 with internal flash
Normally Stargazers hide in the sand and only by luck did we disturb this one. Having witnessed how it completely buries itself in the sand, It's probably the first and last I will ever see!!. Whitemargin Stargazer from Taveuni. Canon A70
Anemonefish from Taveuni, Fiji. Canon A70 with internal flash and diffuser.
