Sony A7c with seafrogs housing. And Tamron 28mm lens. Freediving at about 4-5m. Natural light. @verdesangre on insta.
My focus is off just a bit (on the eggs not the rhinopores) and I'm not super enthusiastic about the bare rock, but they are gorgeous animals!
***"When going to the dentist is just as terrifying for the dentist"*** Giving a big stretch after a thorough cleaning by a bluestreak cleaner wrasse (*Labroides dimidiatus*), a Coral grouper (*Cephalopholis miniata*) looks far more intimidating than its usual lazy, bored self.

Okay lets go!, *Bathytoshia brevicaudata* Short Tailed Stingray. Tuhua, New Zealand in March 2023, Depth about 10m. Frame grab from a gopro video I took. It had a fishing weight hanging from its mouth, swam up really close, did a circle around me, then swam off

*"Sometimes, someone is obviously covered in red flags"* Much like The Joker and Harley Quin, a mated pair of Harlequin shrimp (Hymenocera picta) are vividly coloured, and have a close relationship centered around love and murder. While every carnivore kills to eat, most are opportunistic hunters or proper predators, stalking and hunting their prey for a quick kill. Harlequin shrimp are the creepy couple who drag strangers (sea stars) into their lair and slowly torture them. Richelieu Rock, Thailand 3/03/2023 [Sony A7R IV, 90mm macro, AOI +12.5 diopter]
