Banded butterflyfishes, tube sponges, on the Hilma Hooker,

Banded coral shrimp under a ledge, waving their antennae to attact cleaning clients. However, they declined to clean my fingernails. In fact, they ran away from my hand.

Basketstar, folded up during a day-time dive.

As opposed to this basketstar seen during a night-dive, unfurled in the darkness.

Foureye butterflyfishes, sea rods.

Little blue chromisfishes.

It's only fair: brown chromisfishes.

Blue Tang Group.

Brain coral pattern.

A very fine gaggle of Christmas tree worms.

A tang being cleaned in mid-water.

A threespot damselfish makes a pass, protecting its algae patch. This one nipped me twice for being too close.

The closest I could capture in a photo to the Damselfish Stare of Intimidation was this one by a Yellowtail Damsel. But actually, it wasn't being nearly as aggressive as the threespot damsel in the preceding shot.

Dramatic divers and bubbles shot.

Dee Scarr pointed these out to illustrate "fighting corals." Identical species will grow compatibly next to each other but differing species will try to overgrow each other. These little coral heads on a cement mooring block are about 15 years old.

Flamingo tongues, en masse on a sea plume.

Black frogfish.

Cleaning gobies on brain coral.

Gobies on star coral.

Goldentail eel.

Goldentail eel. Saw a lot of these. Not so many spotted morays. I didn't see any green morays on this trip.

Green coney. I think. The fish book says they vary in color, but doesn't mention green as one of the options. I thought it was a very pretty fish.

Grey snapper school, hanging out under the dock at the resort.

Grey snappers. Not really clear what they spend their days staring at.

Grunts, just hanging.

Bubbles from divers within the Hilma Hooker hold.

The Hilma Hooker propeller and rudder.

Large star coral, with little fishes I believe are called chalkfish.

Lettuce leaf sea slug.

Caribbean lobster.

A school of needlefishes was swimming right under the surface as we entered the water for the Dee Scarr dive. It was so bright, couldn't see the viewfinder, could only point the camera generally and push the button. This is what resulted.

Palometafishes, just off the resort dock.

Parrotfish.

The Pink Beach beach.

The reef off Pink Beach.

As everyone on the trip knows, this pufferfish, hiding under the little wreck off the Habitat resort, was gigantic.

Rope sponge pattern.

Rough file clam, wedged in star coral.

Still life with sea fan and butterflyfish.

Seascape.

Sleeping fish, wedged into a crevice, seen during a night dive.

Spotted drum.

Spotted drum.

More spotted drums. Saw more of them, many out in the open (which is unusual) on this trip than ever before.

Star coral formation.

Large star coral pattern.

Green star coral.

Sting ray. Saw it way below us on the Pink Beach dive.

Trunkfish.

It's always important to look inside vase sponges and other enclosed areas. One of these vases had a brittlestar, the other this little school of little fishes swimming at the bottom.

West Indian sea egg, a type of sea urchin. Its little suction-cup feet enabled it to stick to my hand.

White-spotted filefish, with actual white spots. Even thought they're called white-spotted filefish, most of the ones you see are in their their orange phase.
