Pair of courting seahorses. The red male has his tail wrapped around the yellow female's tail.

It is very difficult to get a good image of these flighty gobies

A very dark morph compared with others of similar size in the vicinity

I have found two schools in CTB - one fairly shallow and another one at ~6m.
This photo is of the one at ~6m

The second of two found in the same spot

I have seen this behaviour before. It has hidden itself in the sand and only emerges when you get too close

I saw the pair of flatheads pretty shallow next to the net. One of them is very shy, whilst other very patient.
