    This Green and Black Nudibranch in Kokuana Passage, Solomon Islands, has a pose I have never seen. My grandchildren are in love with it.

 Velvia Ridge, or Baby Cakes, is one of the more interesting sites in the Solomon's.  I had never seen this green  nudibranch. It was fun trying to get it to pose.

Getting the Arrow Crab to pose on a Sponge at Mesa, in Grand Cayman took time. I finally got all of the wide spread legs in a pose where you can see the crabs' claws. Taking u/w pictures takes patience.

When I saw this  Peterson Shrimp on a tube anemone at the Wreck of the Ann in the Solomon Islands I did not realize it was pregnant. Some pictures just are surprises.

This pigmy seahorse is about 1/16of an inch. I took this picture at maximum magnification while neutrally buoyant. It was a task I do not think I will try again.
