Azure
Vase
This
is an azure vase sponge.
It's the best picture I've taken of this.

Spotted
Moray
| I
have better pictures of morays, but I just love the colors of
the surrounding crinoid and sponges of this shot. It really shows
how incredibly colorful the reefs of Dominica really are.

Yellow
Sea Horse
This
is the yellow sea horse from Scott's Head Drop off. It proved
to be the most cooperative of any seahorse from the trip. Most
seahorse turn their backs to the photographer, making photography
tough, but this little guy held still for me.

Cleaner Shrimp

is a Spotted cleaner shrimp at a cleaning station, seen here cleaning
my finger! It was taken at a northern unnamed dive site. |

Yellow
Frog Fish
| He/she
lives at Nose Reef. It's the one that I blinded trying to get a
picture of the lure. I haven't gotten all my pictures back, so I
don't know if I got the shot or not.... |
