My first sightings of Bornella Anguilla & Spanish Dancer

[Meyr]

Hey guys,
Just want to share some pics of my first sightings of marine life.
I dived in Kapas for almost a year now.
Every weekend since 3 months back.
The best thing about diving is there's always something new.
Even a small island like Kapas there's still a lot to be discovered.

This is a BORNELLA ANGUILLA.
I quote this from a magazine
"..photographing a bornella anguilla is every underwater photographer's wet dream.."
Im sure some of you here know that.

Then there's also a Spanish Dancer. Very hard to come by.

I saw a Spanish dancer at my local fish store the other day. Sad since it will most likely just parish in someone's tank.

Thanx

Yes i was. i banged my tank like crazy when i first saw it.
It was the longest shoot i ever do on a single subject.
Spent almost 10-15 minutes shooting just 1 bornella anguilla.

I saw a Spanish dancer at my local fish store the other day. Sad since it will most likely just parish in someone's tank.

that's sad..
One of tthe divemasters dived here for 2 decades now, and
it turns out that this is the 1st time any diver saw a spanish dancer at this island.
