7/13 Maui pics

[Gilligan]

Today's dive was a random location one at 72 feet.
Second time in less than two weeks I came across Harlequin Shrimps.

Harlequin Shrimps
(likely a mated pair)

Dwarf Scorpionfish

Leaf Scorpionfish
(about the size of a 25 cent piece - closeup lens used)

All very good! Are those critters in the first pic shrimp? Eyecatching color, nice job!

Those are some of the coolest looking creatures I have seen yet. Your photo of them is georgeous! I wish I could run into them on one of my dives. Btw, isn't the plural of shrimp,....shrimp?

According to my Webster's New World Dictionary both "shrimp" and "shrimps" can be used for the plural

The shrimp are gorgeous. Nice job on the lighting and focus. Just a great picture.
