I was very fortunate to see these two Black-Saddled Tobies spiraling upward in a mating ritual. I got a sequence of about a dozen shots before the action ended. Dauin, Philippines.

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 Scarlet-Striped Cleaning Shrimp was happy to give my wife a free manicure. And please, no cracks about the size of her engagement ring - she was happy with it 22 years ago, and she still is!

Red Snapping Shrimp (also called Pistol Shrimp). It takes a lot of patience to get this little guy to come out of his corkscrew anemone, but it's worth the wait. He'll even give you a free manicure if you're lucky!

This little Pipehorse was a real thrill! They're pretty rare, they're camouflaged very well, and they don't move around much. Nikon D200 with 60mm lens.

This juvenile Yellowtail Damselfish was one of the toughest photographs I've ever taken. They're very small (2 cm) and they just flit into view for a second or two. Nikon D200 with 60mm lens.

Arrow Blenny (2 cm). These tiny fish are tough to spot, but they're great fun to watch as they flick their tail and dart out to spear little shrimp and other morsels. Nikon D200 with 60mm lens.

Blue Chromis are a very common fish in the Caribbean, but I love to photograph them. Notice the tiny tendrils on the tail. Nikon D200 with 60mm lens.

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!

Neck Crab, found on Bloody Bay Wall at 95 feet. This little fellow (3 cm) was almost impossible to see, with his bright red coloring almost gone at the depth I found him at. Nikon D70 with 60mm lens.
