A fully grown 'Smooth Trunkfish' is this one to the left. His relatively small fins - compared to the size of it's body - don't deliver a strong forward speed. Thus, this fellow is easy to shoot.
Size about 6 in.
This was the absolute 'supershot' of this category. Two 'Yellowhead Wrasses' (Halichoeres garnoti) are performing a love dance! They remained for many seconds in the position shown in the photograph. Then, all of a sudden, they shot apart. In a distance of a couple of feet they were waiting for another period of seconds and finally then again they moved towards each other with "lightspeed" to again remain in their "kissing" position. This game went over and over... Amaizing!
Size about 6-8 in.
Another nice shot. A young 'Trumpetfish' is camouflaging by the means of a sponge. Are you able to see it? It lies horizontally in the middle of the picture above the junction of the two "branches" of the sponge.
Size about 6-8 in.
Two 'Sanddivers' having a break on a coral.
Size about 8 in.
The mandatory 'Mouray' is not supposed to miss in a series like this one. Here is a very frightning one ;-). But, they are not as dangerous as they look, they are just show offs.
Mourays or not toxic, as many people believe. But, if they bite a human beeing - for whatever reason - they can cause infections and the bite itself can cause a serious wound, because of the razor blade teeth.
Size unknown because the major part of it's body was hidden.
A very beautiful 'Atlantic Trumpetfish'. The head is on the down left.
Size about 3 feet.
Her is another one, a little bit more compact. The head is down right.
Size about 3 feet.
A 'Peacock-Flounder'. This was my very first encounter with this species. They are gliding through the water like an UFO.
Size about 16 in.
I'm very proud of this shot! A 'Blue Chromis' was waiting long enough for me to take this shot and getting close enough. This species obviously is very shy due to it's small size. Thus, this photograph is a real rarity, at least for myself.
Size about 2-3 in.
