A spindly, orange-colored crab is centered in the image, nestled on a background of fuzzy, purple sea fans and sponges. The crab has an elongated, triangular body with a sharply pointed “nose” (rostrum) extending forward. Its long, thin legs stretch outward like a spider’s, helping it blend in with the delicate, branch-like coral around it. The textures are intricate, with fine hairs on both the crab and coral, and vivid underwater hues in purple, orange, and red tones.
Singer Island Bridge — the common Yellowline Arrow Crab (Stenorhynchus seticornis) in all its spindly glory. Zoom in on its eyes.

This underwater photograph taken in the Philippines shows two Grey Bearded Dwarf Gobies (Trimma cf. cana) nestled among yellow-brown coral branches. These tiny fish have reddish-orange bodies with distinctive bright blue-green eyes. One goby faces the camera, seemingly with a pouting or serious expression, while the other is tucked deeper into the coral, peering outward. The coral’s structure and lighting frame them in a warm, intimate underwater scene. Photo by Gregory Rothman, 2025.
Blackfin Coral Gobies (Paragobiodon melanomas) Special shout out to Dennis Corpuz. Without his assistance this image probably would have been nearly impossibe. Taken in Analao, Philippines.

A close-up underwater scene showing a group of bright red soldierfish and several spiny lobsters nestled under a rocky reef overhang. The lobsters are mostly hidden beneath the ledge, with their long antennae extending outward. Some of the soldierfish are swimming upside down, a behavior typical when resting under ledges. The reef is colorful with patches of orange and yellow sponges and encrusting life, creating a textured and vibrant backdrop.
A cozy little corner of the reef—shared by a bunch of soldierfish and several spiny lobsters tucked into the crevice below.
If you look closely, you’ll notice something quirky: a few of the soldierfish are swimming upside down.
