This pair of Harlequin Shrimp (Hymenocera picta) were spotted on Burma's Black Rock. While I was cruising around 35m looking for stingrays and sharks I happened to spot these two ontop of this red starfish. These two shrimp will work as a team to turn the starfish over so it cannot run away (well run at starfish speed anyhow). Once on it's back the shrimp will have access to the soft flesh underneath, they will cut off the legs one by one and slowly devour the starfish. Once cut the starfish will start to grow new legs, so over time the shrimp can have a constantly renewed food source. Smart ah?. [Photographer: Spencer Finn]

This Tigertail Seahorse was spotted on Richelieu Rock, near the Surin Islands. These cool looking creatures are not uncommon on Richelieu and I regularly find them around 26-27m on the west side of the rock. Look in the sea fans and some of the old fishing ropes that hang on the rocks. [Photographer: Spencer Finn]
This whale shark was spotted at Black Rock and we were lucky enough to see her on all 3 dives there. Black Rock is a common pit stop for whale sharks. It is also not uncommon to see more than 1. Once the seasonal coditions are right, more plankton, lower viz the chances are higher to have a close encounter. Normally seen between Jan-Apr, but this varies a little year by year due to ocean curents and plankton blooms. [Photographer: Spencer Finn]
