What incredible colours. This is a juvenile batfish whose glowing outline is thought to mimic an unpalatable flatworm. There were quite a few of these on our recent trip, any I didn’t see any of the flatworms, that makes me a little skeptical of the mimicry story. Anyway if you grew up in the UK, though, you can’t help but think it has simply been eating Ready Brek!

Surgeon fight! Surgeonfish are territorial herbivores, guarding gardens of algae from their neighbours, regularly disputing the borders. Taken with Sony A1 and 90mm.

Seafans and schools. Classic Misool scenery from our liveaboard trip in January. It is always great to catch these spectacular reefs, with huge seafans, alive with baitfish and hunters. Although getting it all in one shot is always a challenge. These two were both taken with Sony A1 and Nauticam housing. 2 x Retra flashes. One shot with FCP-1 and 28-60mm, the other with Nikonos RS 13mm converted to Sony.
