Seahorse: The big-bellied seahorse is one of two in Sydney, very territorial, one can see the same specimens in the same spot for days or even months on end!!! Taken at Kurnell National Park, using a Nikonos III, 35mm lens and 1:2 extension tube, single strobe. Photocomp January'05 - Open; Added: January 21st 2005 at 3:51am

Pretty in pink: These tiny tropical shrimps (Periclemenes soror) are found along the NSW coast in summer on the underside of seastars, always changing their colors to suit the coloring of their hosts. Pinkish/purple stars have shrimps as per picture, red seastars have red shrimps etc. Equipment: Nikonos III, 35mm lens with 2:1 (double life-size magnification - not 1:2) extension tube, single flash.

Curiousity killed the wrasse...: This comb wrasse (Coris picta) was adamant on seeing his own reflection in my macro lens. Shot with a Nikonos III, 35mm lens and 9" macro converter, twin Aquasea strobes. About December 1997. Photocomp January '05 - Open; Added: January 15th 2005 at 5:43am

The Sydney Pygmy Pipehorse: I thought my eyes were deceiving me. All I could make out was a little white fish resembling a seahorse, no bigger than a 50-cent piece. Yet it was so elaborately disguised I literally bumped into it head first.....; Added: December 14th 2004 at 4:13am

Baby Port Jackson: This little PJ pup was part of a pack of 15-20 little babies in Watsons Bay, Sydney. We observed them for over a month in September 2001, before they moved out into deeper water and finally disappeared. Photocomp December '04 - Open; Added: December 14th 2004 at 12:45am

New kid on the block: This is a new discovery from Sydney waters. The little fish, a Sydney Pygmy Pipehorse (Idiotropiscis lumnitzeri), is very hard to photograph. This is a 1:1 shot with a Nikonos III.; Added: December 13th 2004 at 3:04am

You're being watched!: Taken on the left-hand-side of Camp Cove, NSW over very silty, barren ground with a 1:1 framer on a Nikonos III. Photocomp December '04 - Open; Added: December 13th 2004 at 2:46am

Gotcha!: We were nightdiving under the Kurnell refinery jetty, NSW and these little spotted Dumpling Squids were all over the place! I have never seen so many in a night, and many were feeding on the hinge-beak shrimps. Photocomp December '04 - Open; Added: December 13th 2004 at 2:38am
