D200/Micro-Nikkor 70-180 plus 6T/Tulamben Macro

[Reefwreck 0]

The critters seemed to be out in force at Tulamben! I did 7 dives over two days last week and even though the viz. was unusually mediocre, there never seemed to be a lack of macro subject matter. Here are a few images. All were taken with the Nikon D200, Micro-Nikkor 70-180 plus Nikon 6T close-up lens. Some cropping.:oops:

Always a favourite of mine, the "Marilyn Monroe" of Nudis, Chromodoris kunei.

 

A nice yellow Clown Frogfish

 

The rare Tiger Shrimp

 

A tight macro of the common Blue Seastar. I'ver always been attracted by the colour and textures of these!

 

Cheers.
