Idiomysis shrimp (Idiomysis sp.), also known as 's

Idiomysis shrimp (Idiomysis sp.), also known as 'sea bees' are some of the cutest and smallest things to photograph in the ocean. At only 1mm-2mm long, and constantly flitting about, makes them some of the most difficult to photograph as well. When I noticed a few large groups of them on a dive, I made a mental note to come back there - and a few days later, on my last dive in Kata Beach, Phuket, I spent 40 minutes of my dive in the silty sand, just trying to get these shots. With no strobe (just my normal handheld torch), it made it particularly difficult; more light is needed to take faster shots to better 'freeze' them in place. However, to really get better shots, I think going up to a 105mm macro lens with a +23 diopter would be required, along with a pair of strobes, which is a big expense to change to. Goals, though! 25 Feb, 2023

"Mom, make him stop touching me!" The first lot of eggs of a golden damselfish (Amblyglyphidodon aureus) are just about ready to hatch. They've been carefully watched over and protected by their mother for many, many days now, and there are still later eggs glued to the same piece of whip coral she will continue to protect until they have all hatched.

"Oi! What's that over there then?!" A Coryphellina

"Oi! What's that over there then?!" A Coryphellina sp. nudibranch rears up to get a better look around. That black dot is its "eye spot", not a true eye, in that it doesn't have a lens, just light receptors. By the by, "sp." is short for "species", meaning it's an unidentified species that's probably a type of Coryphellina. This species has been found around Tulamben, Bali for many years, but like most animals, hasn't been fully distinguished yet and given a proper name.
