A huge shrimp looking out of its hole in the white sand. At the top two ellipsoid eyes, feelers reaching forward from there, the joints of its hammer appendages visible on the sides, other chitinous parts visible too. Reddish brown with white markings all over.

Posted before, but I couldn’t resist. I give you the queen of style, the spearing mantis shrimp. 🦐 💙

An octopus wrapped in its own tentacles on an algae covered rock. Background all black.

An octopus hug is a wonderful thing. I can still find the exact rock this one lived on. 🐙

A really angry moray eel looking at you from its home coral. Brown skin, blueish eye and a really pinched expression.

Someone’s really grumpy.

Underwater shoot of big boulders, a diver on the left swimming sideways to look at the camera. Bubbles rising to the surface. Everything in watery blues and greens.

Apologies, I can’t remember who shot this, but I just love this pic of me so much. 💙

4 snails underwater on white sand, their shells entirely covered by their black-with-yellow-and-white-dots mantles.

Today’s #BlueskyArtshow topic #underneath is made just for me, I think.

Tiger cowries with their mantles fully extended around their shells look like starry night skies. Making babies seems quite the process.
