If you don't mind, can you tell us what equipment you used and how you had it set up when you took these pic's? I'm new and wanting to learn all I can from practical ap's.

Dude Rex awesome pics! Wow you photo skills are improving incredible fast, nice work brutha!

P.S. I've seen that Rickster fish before but it didn't have any yellow, could this be a juvenile?

He is looking younger, maybe it's his short break from work and more time to dive. Rick gets credit for these photos, he found this stuff for me. The crab I never saw till I looked at the photos, I just shoot where Rick points.

Thats the beauty of shooting in RAW format and then using a program like Lightroom or photoshop. I have quite a few pics where once I blew them up a bit....I saw all kinds of critters...LOL.
