A backlit leaf scorpionfish. Jason Cedric Apostol helped out with this one, illuminating the fish from behind with his torch as I snapped this shot.
The incredible Coconut Octopus. While in Anilao, we spent 2 night dives in the shallows of the town pier watching the behavior of these incredibly smart creatures. They use their tentacles to wrap themselves in shells for protection and ambush prey. If you bring them a shell and place it near them, they will slowly unfurl a single tentacle to analyze if they think its a good new home. If they like your gift, they will happily pick it up, adding it to their armor.
