#Mandarinfish are tiny, shy, and ridiculously bright. Most of the day, they hide deep in the coral, then at dusk they sneak out for a quick, blink-and-you-miss-it courtship ritual.

“There are so many weird and wonderful ocean-dwelling creatures, but this particular parrotfish species stands alone with its bizarre overbite, formidable size, prominent forehead, and tendency to travel in large groups.”

In our latest #OneGreatShot, photographer Josh Blank captures a school of bumpheads baring their impressive chompers.

My husband is a Dive Master here on Maui and shows me photos he takes from his dives. I am unable to dive so it thrills me every time he comes back with something interesting to look at and identify.

This Bigfin Reef Squid is gorgeous when seen at night with bright white strobe lights.
