Thank you Phil! I was developing an inferiority complex because you seem to see so many gorgeous critters and I never see anything like them. Do you dive with a big magnifying glass, or just sweep your camera with a macro lens across an area until you see things not visible to those of use who no longer have the eyes of a 12 year old?
I shoot macro with a 60mm lens attached to a 1.4 teleconverter. For the REALLY tiny guys I have a +10 diopter on the outside of my port that swings around. I look for their food source, eggs or any speck that looks slightly different than what they're crawling on. I take a test shot and zoom in the monitor to see if it's in focus or if it's too small to even try.

Is that the one sitting below the Zebra Goby and just to the right of the egg mass (in the photo just above the Flabellina trilineata)?
The one laying eggs was nearby, but slightly larger than that one.
