I recently got really lucky with this male cardinalfish. In these fish, the males keep the fertilized eggs in their mouths, to protect them. I took the picture in Gilimanuk in the West of Bali, at a place called "secret bay", only 6 m deep.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

Thank you for the comments everyone! Yes, this is a 5DII in a machined aluminum housing for under water use.
