I love looking for hitchhikers in the jellies. I like the little fish that swim around in their bells. Nice pics, Bob.
 
Great pics - they remind me how much I love the macro world! So many small things. Most of them I can no longer see without my camera.

Our last trip to Bonaire had my divebuddy frantically gesturing at a west indian sea egg. We had talked earlier in the week about the tiny squat urchin shrimp that lived on them (which I had never before seen). I took her gestures as a clue that something was a foot. I still have not seen them! Too small. I did manage to take a picture of them. Squat Urchin Shrimp | www.kengiffen.com

On a prior trip we also had the pleasure of seeing another photogs pictures of a small creature. She did not not what it was. We both immediately identified it as a Solitary Gorgorian Hydroid (i love them) and then both expressed surprise because her picture clearly showed a flock of very tiny tiny shrimps living on the hydroid.
 
Great shot Ken. Another of my favorite things is accidental pictures. Several times, I've taken a picture of a subject and then when I open it in full size on the computer go "Holy Cow, why didn't I see that!?"
