Emanuela Cusimano Complimenti!

Isabella Maffei GRAZIE Emanuela :-D

Giorgio Cavallaro Uwp Nice!

Guglielmo Placitelli Really cute animal.

Raffaele D'Aniello Molto bella Isabè :)

Tunc Yavuzdogan This is a remarkable picture , but how did you do it ? Double exposure ? Bug- Eye Lens ? Tokina 10-17 + 1.4 Convertor ?

Isabella Maffei Grazie Raffaele :-D Guglielmo :-D and Giorgio Cavallaro Uwp

Isabella Maffei Tunc Yavuzdogan @ is a double exposure

Tunc Yavuzdogan Hi Isabella , Thanks for explaining ,you should also try the Tokina 10-17mm together with a 1.4 Kenko convertor , gives you almost the same result with more satisfaction (Very important you have to have a small dome) . Also the Inon bug eye lens would be great of course however very hard to handle, My Best Regards,

Dieter Kudler nice one Isabella , love it!

Andrea Mucedola bellissimo scatto isabella ... complimenti :) lo posso condividere?

Isabella Maffei Andrea Oceandiver@ ....ma certo che puoi Andrea :-) un caro saluto.isa

Isabella Maffei Thanks Dieter :-)

Isabella Maffei Many Thanks Tunc for your suggestion. I have seen lots of pictures Made with this technic anD i have tokina 10-17! Just but the teleconverter;-) . Sure i'll try anD then i'll show you it ;-) Thanks again.Isabella

Toni Palermo Peperoncino giallo - Tripterygion delaisi

Stuart Pearce Beauty :)

Stuart Pearce Just to show I did get distracted from the fireworms once in a while this year, Female Threefin Blenny.. Gemiler, Turkey 2013.

Galina Maslova Beauty

Stuart Pearce Thank you Galina :)

Antonio Colacino Tripterygion delaisi, nice shot :)

Annie Bodar sublime merci

Ernst Andres Beautiful :-)

Stuart Pearce Thanks Antonio, Annie & Ernst :)

Stuart Pearce Threefin blenny (Tripterygion melanurus) thanks Antonio :) .... Gemiler, Turkey 2013.

Tom Hobock A day without fireworms is alike a day without Stuart lol

Claudia Weber-Gebert :D

Galina Maslova Nice photo

Stuart Pearce Still time Tom, you may not get a full day LOL :D

Antonio Colacino I guess is Tripterygion melanurus

Stuart Pearce Thanks Antonio, will have a look at that one :)

Antonio Colacino I show you: Tripterygion delaisi male and female

Stuart Pearce Concur with T. melanurus Antonio, so many wrong ID's on the web for these and I have not got a key :)

Antonio Colacino Tripterygion melanurus:

Antonio Colacino Tripterygion melanurus:

Stuart Pearce Yes, just seen this on a web image search, but also many shots of the red bodied ones titled T. delaisi :)

Antonio Colacino There'a another Tripterygion, T.tripteronotus that is similar to T.delaisi, the difference is the colour of the body wich for the male is red as shown in the following picture:

Antonio Colacino T.melanurus is smaller then T.delaisi and T.tripteronotus, furthermore got a spotted pattern on the head.

Ernst Andres Beautiful :-)

Stuart Pearce The female Trypterygion sp. I have shots of, I was told was T. delaisi, none of the yellow bodied males around, will have to have a look at the female T. melanurus :)

Antonio Colacino Male and female of T.melanurus are similar, watch the white spots on the back of delaisi, are a distinctive character, T. melanurus has only 2 white spots on the back.

Stuart Pearce Thanks Ernst, as you can see, an ID nightmare LOL :)

Antonio Colacino ;)

Ernst Andres He he he he he ... that's why I've almost given up Stuart. Eventually, I'm almost through with the shot sorting. But I suffer with you my friend :-) :-) :-)

Ron Silver One man's nightmare is another man's avocation........:-D

Annie Bodar fantastique merci le monde sous marin est merveilleux merci

Stuart Pearce Thanks Annie :)

Fabrizio Frixa For your collection of photos Mediterranean, I propose a specimen of Tripterygion delaisi in Italy also known by the name (not scientific) of "Yellow Chili Pepper". It is a male specimen in livery coupling. Ionian Coast of Sicily (IT)

Stuart Pearce Thank you Fabrizio, great shot, I never got to see the male in full display :)

Ron Silver nice display

David Fenwick Snr Thanks for featuring Lebetus guilleti Andy, well worth keeping an eye out for it on some of the lower tides. I guess it could very easily be mistaken and overlooked for a small Taurulus.

Andy Horton There is a doubt over MY ID of the fish !

Andy Horton Is the front part of the second dorsal fin folded down ?

Andy Horton http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=4288792

Andy Horton http://www.welshmarinefish.org/WMF_Lebetus_guilleti.html

Andy Horton I have remained with my original ID but put in the query.

Andy Horton The query has now been adjusted to an alternative of Micrenophrys lilljeborgii. Don't look at Fishbase for comparative pics (misleading).

Andy Horton This small goby query has come up before in 1999. http://www.glaucus.org.uk/gobiu.jpg

Andy Horton http://gobyfrontiers.org/gf/eg-109.htm

Andy Horton More research needed with miniature T. bubalis. I first see them (in the past) at 28 mm long.More likely 35 mm long excluding the tail pin TL.

Andy Horton Picture still looks like a goby to me this morning. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jim-anderson/5755298157/in/photostream

Andy Horton Other experts have agreed it is most likely Lebetus.

Andy Horton I spotted some T, bubalis at 20 mm long and less tonight and they look miniature versions of the adults.

Chris Barrett I agree Andy - I think juvenile's still have the characteristic bulky head that the adults do (of T.bubalis, that is). I really doubt this is a Taurulus.

Chris Barrett I will be able to confirm this within a month, when I analyse my fish morphology data - I'll be able to tell you whether their growth is isometric

Chris Barrett Where was this taken? Richard Shucksmith has found Lebetus in the Shetland islands

Andy Rapson I just added a photo of a small (1" Taurulus bubalis). This fish definitely isn't one of those but I do think it is a sculpin and not a goby.

Chris Barrett I agree Andy (Rapson). Not Taurulus, but at the same time, not a goby. The dorsal fins don't look right for a goby

Andy Horton Sound of Luing, Inner Hebrides, south.

Andy Rapson Having spent many hours searching through various books and sites my best (guess) is female or immature Tripterygion delaisi

Andy Horton I finally decided on Lebetus.
