Two Mandarinfish - Indonesia, 2008
These rare Mandarinfish were spotted on a night dive in some rubble in front of a resort. Though usually slow moving these two definitely were not. They were chasing around in what we supposed was a mating routine. I was sharing them with two other photographers, so it was a frenetic and unforgetable experience. The female is generally the smaller of the two. See also Mandarinfish.
