The tiny two-eyed blenny hiding inside an ascidian photographed at Batsata Maze in April this year. I used a Canon G16 in a Fantasea FG16 housing, with an Orcatorch D900v focus light (in red mode) and 2 x Inon Z240 strobes. Blennies tend to be quite skittish, so it was frightened by my bright focus light when I first approached it and retreated deep inside the crevice. I changed my focus light to the red setting and waited patiently for the blenny to reappear, which it eventually did, allowing me to capture one of my favourite photos to date.
