Achilles Tang Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 The extremely shy and elusive Purple Firefish! This dive was bad because I saw the most things but my camera jammed up or my trigger button came loose underwater. I saw the Red Firefish too.... but no shot.

Achilles Tang Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 This fish came out of the dark cave and gave me a fright. Amazingly red but almost undetectable underwater without the flash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Tang Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 The extremely shy shrimp goby. I was lucky to get off this shot coz the fella was under an overhang and any approach means it'll hide in his little tunnel in the blink of an eye.
