No sure what these are... could be small barracuda, could perhaps be needlefish or halfbeaks. Unfortunately I couldn't get any closer and they're too shiny and reflective to turn up the strobe power so we can see the fins better. Pic from Anilao

#MarineLife #Fishmas 🐟
Elongate, silvery fishes. They have translucent fins and relatively large eyes

A porcelain crab, who didn't really wish to be photographed and was scuttling for the edge of the anemone it calls home. Sorry, my friend...

Neopetrolisthes maculatus, Anilao

#MarineLife #Crustmas 🌿🦀
A white crab with brown/red spots on its limbs and carapace. It is partially hidden by the folds and tentacles of the sea anemone in which it lives; the anemone is brown with white spots on its tentacles, so the crab blends in reasonably well #UnderwaterPhotography #Macro #MacroPhotography #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #Nature #NaturePhotography

A candy-cane coloured squat lobster for #Crustmas. Probably Galathea sp. but I really have no idea. Pic from Anilao

#MarineLife #Invertebrates 🌿
A small squat lobster on the head of a soft coral. The coral is red with white polyps; the lobster is coloured to blend in with this, and has a red bod and white claws with red stripes. Its eyes are on red-and-white striped stalks. #Wildlife #UnderwaterPhotography #Macro #MacroPhotography #WildlfiePhotography #Nature

A shrimp from Anilao in festive colours for #Crustmas. Might be a dragon shrimp (Miropandalus hardingi), could also be a palaemonid. I'm unsure.

#MarineLife #Invertebrates 🌿
An orange shrimp with white eyes, and spines on its back. It has a dark band at the base of the tail. It is perched on the end of an orange whip coral which is almost the same colour. #UnderwaterPhotography #MacroPhotography #Macro #Nature #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography
