it's been a while since i took the time to post some pics on BT (didn't even finish the coral spawning pics) but cliff made me sort out pics to find a basket star and i found some.
I love basket stars especially because sometimes you can find some tiny colourful shrimp on them when you take a close look.

first a basket star as you see them at night:

feeding at night

now take a close look:

where is that shrimp?

and in the next picture is one, see it? i love looking for camouflaged animals :-)

you see me?

although sometimes it doesn't look like camouflage at all:

wrong suit

but red appears almost black at depths without a dive light so it look like a contrast but still is camouflage!! amazing isn't it?

Wow is right...Gils, as usual, beautiful pictures! I'm sure you have answered this question before, but what set up do you use?

Thanks all,
Cynde, you're right i answered that before, but since i often don't even remember what clothes i wore the day before i don't dare to make fun of that :-). I use a simple setup. A canon A80 in a canon wp-dc900 housing. Great for close-ups and macro when you learn how to use the manual settings. I only use the internal flash
