Paul Rudder Usually in the indo-pacific region - This Emperor Shrimp (Periclimenes imperator) was far from home when I found it at a seldom dived site, Red Patch in Nelson Bay. Very happy with this hitch hiker of the sea! Canon G10 YS-27 strobe - INON Macro Lense. f/8 1/200 ISO 100 Ken Thongpila
Damian Hofman Very cool find!
Paul Rudder I had to look at it about 3 times cause I didnt believe what I was looking at all the way down here lol
Damian Hofman knowing how big those nudi's are this guy is tiny! I can see why you would have to look a few times!
Alistair Merrifield Wow - guess you will be diving that spot more often!
Paul Rudder Very lucky :)
Paul Rudder Haha - Dunno about that mate - Not much else there to write home about :)
Ken Thongpila Nice Find Paul :-) Amazing find. Nelson Bay is one of the best macro dive site in the world Paul. It is rare for Tropical water marine life found in Template water....
