Very beautiful Jennifer. Looks like you found the mother lode of banded coral shrimp.

Another crazy @ss pic Ken. I've never even seen a pic of an Imperial Shrimp, it's body looks kind of similar to a mantis shrimp, the deadliest crustacean in the water.
Jennifer, your gallery is unreal. Gorgeous topside and UW pics. Good fish ID too.

Butt of a Shrimp
Black lipped oyster shrimp w/eggs
You are looking at the butt of a shrimp holding a clutch of eggs.
This isn’t a spectacular looking shot but it may be one of the only, if not the only, shots like this in existence. Most divers don’t even know this animal exists even though they are pretty common. You think WA is hard to light, try hand holding a strobe, while trying to aim and manual focus your lens between a opening of an oyster that is less than 1” wide. The shrimp butt w/eggs that you see is about 3-4” deep into this crack.
