At the top of the whip coral were three tiny shrimp, no bigger than a few milimeters and jumping around like crazy. They would actually jump off the whip coral and swim as far as 15cm from the coral. And check out the photo...this shrimp that's only about 2-3mm big, has a parasite attached to his side. Click on the photo for a larger image.
Most of the photos posted to this page were taken with a Canon 20D in an Ikelike housing with TTL connection to an Ikelite DS-125 and an Inon 2000 substrobe. I also use a Sony Cybershot P150 in a Sony housing attached to a Sea & Sea YS-25 via fiberoptic cable.
