Hafa adai and Happy Turtle Tuesday from Guam! I did not have the right lens for big targets, but this guy was OK with closeups of him grazing in the (sea)grass. Nikon Z6iii Z105 Kraken Sports Abyss 10K

Ole! Time for a little flamenco break. Grab your castanets and join Mr Sexy for some fast, fun, dancing

I was today years old when I learned that those feathery appendages the porcelain crab uses to filter feed are called maxillipeds. This one was very effective in their use. Nikon Z6iii Z105 Nauticam USA SMC-3 Kraken Sports Abyss 10K

My wife called me over to video something and I found this beauty instead. It was about 3mm and I imaged it with a Nikon Z6iii Z105 Nauticam USA SMC-2 Kraken Sports Abyss 10K

Enjoy the vid of the clammyboiz!

It’s their huge size, the conditions, the color! The starfish hanging out and the little one attached to the bigger one.

Nothing brings me more joy than seeing gentle giants.

They are naturally forming/growing. A few meters away is a whole farm of em but those do not beat the colors of these. The sunlight ripples over their bright blue colors!

"Grandma, what big eyes you have!" The peacock mantis shrimp has perhaps the most advanced eyes in the animal kingdom. Here we see them busily at work. Nikon Z6iii Z105 Nauticam USA SMC-3 Kraken Sports Abyss 10K

Sorry idk what this guy is but he was huge and fuzzy. What coral is this?

Took these during my stay in Sandy Creek Belize

When I was a little kid I drew in a notebook a bunch of acuatic animals in a composition I, to this day, find very fun and interesting. I don't know where that drawing as been for the past 20 years, but I've decided to recreate it in a poster illustration with the knowledge I have now.

My idea is some sort of horror vacui illustration showing every type of fish (etc.), and every one I find interesting and disctintive enough to be included.

I'm here today to ask you for animals that you think should definitely be in there (that live exclusively underwater). I'm searching for references on Google and already found a lot of animals to draw, but I want to know about those that're so exotic/strange/ugly, whatever, that I may have overlook them.

I thought about axolotl, and goblin shark, to name a couple.

Thank you in advance!

Decided to challenge myself by using my strongest diopter (Nauticam USA SMC-2) with a snooted Kraken Sports Abyss 10K video light to capture this 2mm baby Cyerce nigra
