Striped Burrfish. I think these are the weirdest and coolest looking fish of all. Gentle and shy, don’t put your finger in front of them, as they won’t waste a second taking a chomp! © Suzan Meldonian, All Rights Reserved.

Seaweed Blennies fighting or locked in a kiss. Hard to tell. Must be a love hate relationship! © Suzan Meldonian, All Rights Reserved.

Decorator Crab. This is my little punk rocker dude. I find it fascinating that there will be entire areas devoted to decorator crabs. I sincerely believe there’s an underwater culture to see who can out-do the next! © Suzan Meldonian, All Rights Reserved.

Green Razorfish super male. I’ve been watching these fish for a year. They tease the camera, but never sit still for a second. Then by chance, this one Razor fish, suddenly decided it liked the camera lens, (I think) and started transforming into a kaleidoscope of colors, parading back and forth, stopping just long enough for a quick shot. © Suzan Meldonian, All Rights Reserved.

Hybrid Angel: The bridge is known to have some strange versions of angel fish. Per George Burgess, hybrids are a mix of Blue angels and Queen Angels. Unfortunately the hybrid is not able to breed. © Suzan Meldonian, All Rights Reserved.

Spotted Eagle Ray. I’ve tried for years to photograph these animals. Quite elusive to humans, murder to keep up with, so I slowed down and everything went into slow motion. © Suzan Meldonian, All Rights Reserved.

Moon Jelly: Jellyfish never cease to fascinate me. Their colors, the transparency, the strange way that they eat and move. Even more so the fact that they become a safe harbor to little tiny juvenile fish is simply amazing. © Suzan Meldonian, All Rights Reserved.

Beaugregory. Damsel fish are known for having moxy! I think this image illustrates that vim and vigor. © Suzan Meldonian, All Rights Reserved.

Octopus hunting at night. © Suzan Meldonian, All Rights Reserved.

Spotted Eagle Ray Face. Inspired by Susan Mears accomplishment of photographing an entire rainbow with her 60 mm lens in the housing while topside, I thought, “if she can do it, so can I !” Spotted Eagle Rays seem to show up around October and November. © Suzan Meldonian, All Rights Reserved.
