I was hoping I could get some better shots of these beautiful creatures but they are less than 2 cm high and I have trouble seeing them with the naked eye, let alone through the tiny viewfinder of the D70. I am, however, mildly pleased with this shot as it shows 3 of these tiny animals.

Great Shot Andrew!
It's kind of like a game of "Where's Wally"!
Is this the same place you saw them last time?

Andrew - delightful subjects. I have never seen one in my diving - where were these guys?

David,
Yes, the same location as last year. This time I actually saw one with my own eyes. (I am far sighted and need glasses to read and for close work. This problem is compounded underwater due to the refraction of the air/water interface of my mask which makes everything appear even closer.)
Steve,
I'm not allowed to divulge the location but I can get you it is off the tropical Queensland coast.
I only wish I'd had more time and had fired off more than the 7 shots I took.

OK - secret squirrels then. Glad to hear it was somewhere in Australia.

That is a great behavioral shot as it shows just how well they are camouflaged. Well Done! The only place that I have spotted them is in the Solomons - different species as well

I couldn't find the little critters until I found their eyes. What wonderful colours you manage to find, Andrew. I think you should change your name to "Aquaman".

You are dead keen Andrew. This is a great effort considering you have a hard time even seeing them. Nice colours yet again.
Regards Colin
