Are these not the coolest eyeballs in the animal kingdom?!?
This is a mother peacock mantis shrimp, holding her clutch of red eggs.

A #Siphonophore, which are often mistaken for #jellyfish, are quite common in the midwater environment. This species has a bubble of CO connected to its “top” to self-right. PSA - it’s on the “do not lick” list.

Two very different-looking ghost pipefish.
Sometimes it can be very difficult to determine the exact species, as there’s a lot of visual overlap between halimeda, robust, and velvet.

Imagine wearing a #jellyfish as a helmet!?!
Well, that’s exactly what this juvenile jack is doing! Mostly immune to its sting, the jack has taken the jellyfish prisoner.

Shot using #scuba, out over the deep abyss, drifting at night.

I am really enjoying bluesky! Great #science & #marinelife content!
Here’s a short clip of my favourite chance encounter with a female #flapperskate
Despite surveying egg-laying sites regularly for several yrs, this was my first time seeing an adult!
Thank you to my new followers 🙂

The Anthias may be common but they are spectacular in schools. If the male dies the dominant female transforms to become the harem's new male.

Underwater photograph of the side of a coral reef in the red sea. Taken near the surface the sunlight is penetrating the water sufficiently to light up the schooling small fish, known as Lyretail anthias or fairy basslet. In this scene there are well over 100 bright orange fish mostly pointing outwards in an ark from the spiky beige table coral (true colour of this coral, not bleached) as they gently fin into the light current. The clear sea is blue

A moment of pure joy beneath the waves - swimming alongside dolphins, weightless in their world, surrounded by light and silence. An unforgettable encounter that felt like magic.

An amazing underwater moment during a dive, where three dolphins glide effortlessly through the deep blue ocean. The image is taken from below, looking up toward the rippling surface of the water, which shimmers with light filtering down from above. The dolphins appear as graceful silhouettes against the glowing turquoise and navy backdrop - two slightly ahead and higher, the other trailing behind. Sunlight dances through the waves, casting a magical pattern of movement and reflection all around them. Tiny air bubbles float through the scene. The entire image radiates a sense of freedom, lightness, and connection - the pure, unspoken joy of sharing a moment with wild creatures in their element. It’s a quiet kind of joy - the kind you feel in your chest when the world slows down and something extraordinary happens, just for you.

And another for #Nudivember ! This time it’s Fjordia lineata, an absolute cracker i think!
The translucent body with the bright longitudinal lines, look amazing!
Always enjoy finding #nudibranchs on a dive.

Two porcelain crabs - white with red spots all over, but at the edges of carapace and claws - in an anemone. One is very tiny, with its back turned to us, the other big and partially hidden in the anemone. It looks like she is feeding.

A few for the wreck lovers today! I need to dig out my logbook to remind myself which these are but all taken on the Northern Wrecks and Reefs liveaboard in Egypt (departing from Hurghada).

For #worldanimalday, I was tempted to post a shark, sea lion, eagle ray, etc. But I quickly realized that without coral (which most people still don't know are animals), most of them wouldn't exist. #scuba #scubadiving #underwaterphotography #marinelife

A paper nautilus (aka Argonaut) riding atop a jellyfish. Obviously, the nautilus gets protection from the stinging jellyfish, but is that where the relationship ends?
