On the Cover - Photo donated to DAN by Ofek Liepaz: This juvenile boxfish was photographed deep inside a crevice around the Bikini Reef amphitheater in Sodwana Bay. Just under 2cm in size, the fish was hovering in place, investigating me as I approached it. I snapped my first photo of it, but before I could get any more, one of my dive buddies excitedly tugged on my fin to show me a squat lobster nearby. When I came back to the crevice, I couldn't see the boxfish anymore, so all I could do was hope for the best. Needless to say, I was thrilled to see that the single shot I took was in focus and managed to capture the big personality of this tiny fish!
