Lined soapfish. Called "soapfish" as when agitated it produces a toxic mucus that forms a bitter, slippery, soapsuds-like froth. If a larger fish tries to eat the soapfish, it immediately spits it out because of its terrible-tasting, poisonous slimy coating.

The shrimp acquires protection from the anemones sting by gradually increasing contact with the tentacles.

An Emperor Shrimp (Zenopontonia rex). The "bonus" is that's not a rock, it's Thelenota anax, one of the chonkiest sea cucumbers, and the shrimp will spend its life on it. #scuba #marinelife #underwaterphotography

Went to a marine exhibition at the Bundeskunsthalle today. Great exhibition all the way through. But I was particularly stunned by the crocheted coral reef.
I think this is one of the most beautiful and impressive works of art I‘ve seen. It‘s a collaboration by a few hundred (>1000?) artists.
Just a miscellaneous spot on the reef of Smokey's site at Oostpunt, Curaçao. #scuba #scubadiving #underwaterphotography #marinelife #curacao #curaçao
