The first on is some sort of crab, I do not know the name. T he second is a clown frog fish. The third is a flamboyant cuttle fish.

Do you know what fish species are those?
I know that number two is Antennarius Maculatus, one of the Frog Fish family, I do not know its common name.

I like all three of them, especially #3. Since I don't dive, I don't get to see them that upclose and personal. Nice though.

Hi Dale, Great shots! I particularly like #2. The Phillipines has the weirdest stuff U/W in the world. At least it seems so. Where did you go, and what equipment did you use for these shots?

Kevin,
There are strange looking creatures in all the Oceans. The Indian Ocean and the Red Sea also have some interesting creatures. Am trying to get my photos all digitized.

Went to Dumaguete. I have a Nikon n90s in an Aquatica housing, with an Ikelite 200 strobe. The lens is a Nikon 105 mm macro. I use 100 speed Fuji film. On the really small critters I use a Macro Mate close up lens on top of my port.

Dale,
Great photos, I was able to find the scientific names of all of them, I know the Pygmy Seahorse. There are many really good books on Aquarium Fish, this info came from "Dr. Burgess's Atlas of Marine Aquarium Fishes" 2nd Edition. Hope everyone enjoys the photos as much as I do. Great work.

I take it all three of these are seahorses but on the first one it looks like another head of some creature is coming down over the seahorse. All of these creatures are so cool. I think I'd love to hang out underwater with these guys sometimes to get away from the mad world we live in and then think of the perils there too, so...maybe not. :-)

Mom,
The first and third are Seahorses, the second one is a pipefish, related to Seahorses. I live in NYC and the breeding ground for Hippocampus Erectus, the North Atlantic Seahorse is in Jamaica Bay. I used to run the NYC Breast Cancer Seahorse Research Dive. I was able to show lots of people 100s of them. Some as large as 9 inches and colors ranging from White to Orange and then the dark ones. They are amazing creatures, the male is the one that carries the eggs to maturity and then it gives birth, wonderful to see that.
