Rarities underwater

Hmmm... I haven't posted in this topic for a long time, here is a rare wrasse from the Red Sea, Minilabrus striatus:

Luiz,

WOW! Simply beautiful! The orange eyes are almost hypnotizing. I would love to see any and all if you have time to post them and are willing to. Thank you for putting these up so fast.

Sadly, I am running out of rare fish photos!!! Still have a few though :)

Here is a nice little group of Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis that I photographed at about 40m depth in Kwajalein Atoll (Marshall Islands):

There was one nice terminal male taking care of this harem but I couldn't stay long enough at those depths to get a good shot.

Luiz,

Great thread and photography skills

These shots are remarkable...especially at these depths.

Your camera skills show great maturity. people dont know how hard it is to not end up with a bunch of fish butt shots. great action!

your diving resume is awesome as well, very blessed to have tanked up in so many places....im assuming all your work has been on tank air, and not rebreathers.

whats your current latest and greatest camera setup? any new toys?




looks like Brian G. is moving to hawaii in a week.....gonna lose a great "resource" on my end at Kwaj.



Here's a couple more to put on your list....these of course are Brians catches, just lucky enough to be hanging around when he caught these.

Not in their natural state....rather in a bucket :)
I hope im not spamming pics on your thread or RC for this matter, whereas i have them posted elsewhere too, but they seem appropriate here.
