A few small stuff photos

Camera: Sony RX 100VII in Nauticam Housing, Dual Sea&Sea YS-D3 strobes, Nauticam CMC-1 Lens

Dark Mantis

Yellowface Pikeblenny (I think)

Think this is a slender filefish

Sailfin Blenny

Not sure on this one. Think it likes to burrow in the sand. Someone else flagged it so not sure how they saw it.

Not sure on this one either (some sort of Goby I presume)

Very nice set of photos. Thanks for sharing.
There is so much to see in Cozumel, when looking for the small stuff. I wonder how many hours I spent, under water there last week, with my magnifying glass in hand? I had no luck getting decent pictures of the anemone shrimp (that didn't like to pose) and the pea sized juvenile smooth trunk fish were the same.

These are really great shots. Cozumel has so many great little critters to look for. On the last trip there I dove with a DM who absolutely loved the small stuff. He said, "An eagle ray might go by me and I'd never notice because I have my head in the sand." This paid off because I got to see my first frogfish ever. He was very proud of his find.

Thanks for posting!

Thanks. Great shots. Was looking at that camera BC…”before Covid”. Looks like a winner.
Enjoyed seeing your results.
