#5 Could be a Periclimenes Amboinensis shrimp commensal to crinoids. They come in different colors based upon their host crinoid. This is not to be confused with Thor Amboinensis, the little brown shrimp with white spots with its tail up in the curent.

Great photos, the last nudibranch looks like a braided rastafarian nudibranch!

Not being much of a photo expert and wanting to get fully into it all the way, what lens combination can you all recommend for me for a Nikon D200 with macro being the object? I hear a lot obout Woody rings and there is a manufacturer that makes a flip down diopter that seems to be much...

Hi fellow macro fanatics. I know this is a photo forum, but consider it several million digital stills put together, lol. For those still sitting on the fence over the great diving and accomodations to be had diving and doing DSLR photography in the Philipines, check out the below videos...

Great photos Eric!

Well, the Oly Evolt 410 DSLR is around $800 I hear and is 10mp.

I am still debating either talking our publisher into getting a Nikon D-200 or a FujiFinepix Pro S-5. Short of the bulky DX2 or the REALLY costly Canons, they seem to be some of the best DSLR's around that are well suported by housing manufacturers. However, since both are Nikon bodies, the...

Get a Nikon D2X, D-200 or a Fuji Finepix Pro S-5

Meeky, you can get them from this guy here on E-bay for $15 USD plus shipping. Chloroflourocarbon grease is better than silicone grease, but more $. You take a TINY amount and just start pulling the o-ring in a circle between your fingers till you've made several complete loops. Remember...

Nik, Because enough acrylic material is used, thermal stability does not really become a factor in better housings like Ikelite. Any decent rig should have a towel thrown over it anyway in the hot sun. If an acrylic housing scratches, it really doesn't make a difference. If an aluminum...

Kamusta We just got back from a Batangas area trip and took some decent digital photos with a small consumer camera but we went there specifically to get some Pro HD videography footage of Pygmy seahorses and ornate ghost pipefish and we were successful. One of these days wer'e going to...

Nice job Jelimon!

Till I can afford that Nikon D-200 with a Subal or Sea and Sea housing and dual strobes while on a college budget, I'll just have to settle for my little point and shoot. But, I like diving tropical with photogs as I too like to stop and stare endlessly at the little macro critters. Sure, the...

Well, all those wild critters in only 20 dives means the chances of seeing and getting good footage is quite high.
