Very nice.
What is the fish that is cryptic like a stone fish but shaped like a lizard fish?
What is the blue and green mottled fish with the top of its head sticking out of the muck?

Not positive but I believe it is Cymbacephalus beauforti. It's definitely in the family Platycephalidae (flatheads, crocodilefish).
As I'm sure is apparent they feed on small fish and shrimp much like a stonefish or scorpionfish. They are NOT venomous, however.

What Gresh said.
Some kind of ceph, either a bobtail squid or a cuttle. Did you guys notice the seahorse in this picture?
:eek1:

Is that typical behavior for cuttlefish? I've seen them hanging around. I didn't realize they burry themselves too.
I didn't see the sea horse until you pointed it out :lol:

Cuz they don't move fast, if at all, and tend to hang in the same position. I bet if you looked at the book, the shape of the gorgonian wouldn't match the one Rich took
I'll tell you what though, I'm pretty sure these are stills from his HD video camera, so well be blessed with some insane video to go along with these
