Oh dear! It must be hard work to digest that thing...Never seen an anemone being brave enough to try to capture a sea star before. Great catch Bob!

First picture in my diving history where a fish is dining on another fish and gives me enough time to mess with the camera and strobe settings until something somewhat decent came out.

Great picture. You probably dive a lot if not everyday and I suspect that you also dive solo. It seems to me that all the good underwater photographers whom I know end up diving solo. I don't blame them...

A little late but here is a picture of a pygmy squid (probably around 2cm long, pygmy squids are the smallest cephalpods) eating a shrimp.
