One of Fiji's Anemonefish. Nikon D100 with 60mm lens.
I loved this Pallid Triggerfish from the Bligh Water of Fiji. Nikon D100 and 60mm lens
This little blenny from Fiji looks like he's just hanging out.
This Fire Dartfish was one of the most colorful of the small fish we saw in Fiji.
One of Fiji's colorful Anemonefish.
Lionfish from Fiji. Nikon D100 with 60mm lens.
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!
A huge Hogfish feeding in the sand. Nikon D200 with 60mm lens.
The oral disk and mouth of a Corkscrew Anemone. Nikon D200 with 60mm lens.
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.
I think this little Tobaccofish was mezmerized by his reflection in my macro port. Nikon D200 with 105mm lens.
This idyllic view is from our favorite dive resort on Little Cayman, looking over South Hole Sound toward the barrier reef.
This little Diamond Blenny is one of the most colorful fish on the reef, usually found in anemones.
Nikon D200 with 60mm lens.
This little Yellowface Pikeblenny wasn't too shy about posing. Little Cayman, BWI. Nikon D70.

a well worked critter shot James
A Siphonophore, relative of a jellyfish, and one of the stranger creatures of the sea.
Scallop with encrusting sponge. Even though the scallop can't move, it's alive and doing well.
It looks like these two Tobies (Sharpnose Puffers) are friends.
The Blue-Ring Sea Hare is pretty rare, and this is the first one that I've seen. About 2 cm.
Nikon D70 with 60mm lens.
Trumpetfish are common in the Caymans, but this was a head-on shot, giving a little different view.
Nikon D70 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!
Nikon D70 with 105mm lens.
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.
