Theme for July 26-Aug1: How small is small?

justleesa · Jul 26, 2004

Have you ever taken a picture and had to size it up to 150% or more and then crop it to see some of the small stuff?
Well now it's time to show the before and afters. Before

and after cropping:

Indian Nudibranch - Sea Tiger - 82'

Not only for Nudi's

I wanted to get a detailed shot of this fish that was about the size of a quarter. The original was not bad but was not positioned the way I liked and I wanted to see more detail of the fish and less sand.

That's a cutie! It has little spikes on it....what kind of fish is it?

It's a VERY Juvenile Slender Filefish

I took this picture of a Dorid and then when I looked at It in the computer monitor I saw something attached to It. I still don't now what it Is. Any ideas welcome.

I'd say either a type of shrimp or maybe a crab. Not enough detail to tell which obe, tho.

ensenadadiver · Jul 27, 2004

I wish the critter had more detail but considering the Dorid was about 50mm this critter must be very small.

Yeah...I thought about that! I've seen photos of a similar shaped/colored shrimp in anemones called a Sun anemone Shrimp.

Here's one that Seafan posted on Scubadiving.com. It looks close to yours.

yup, it's a filefish... i couldn't decide between a fringed filefish and a pygmy filefish myself...
and now you say slender....oh it's hopeless
