A lot of searching and a lot of luck to find this male Yellowhead Jawfish incubating eggs on Little Cayman Island, BWI. The eggs are just about to hatch.

This little octopus on Bonaire was about the size of my hand. He was perfectly camouflaged against the sand and rubble, but his movement gave him away.

Bristlework crawling over a very rare Fingerprint Cyphoma. Although the Bristleworm is stinging the Cyphoma, I'm told by a marine biologist that it's just a defensive action.

A tiny (4 mm) sea slug, Chelidonura berolina, that I photographed on Little Cayman. In the lower left, note a little claw sticking from the sand, apparently from a larval crustacean.
