Today we’ve got a couple shots of Sexy Anemone Shrimp (so called because of their tendency to “dance” with their butts in the air), a pair of Peacock-tail Anemone Shrimp, and a pair of Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. Enjoy!

Another whale we got to see during our cetacean (whales and dolphins) survey…
