Periclimenes Brevicarpalis

Philippines

In July 2017, we spent nearly three weeks in the Philippines, mostly taking macro shots in Malapasqua, Puerto Galera and Anilao. Here a few of my favourite images from this trip.

Periclimenes Brevicarpalis

Periclimenes Brevicarpalis

Shrimp. Say no more.

Nudibranch Flabellina

Nudibranch Flabellina

Tiny nudibranchs with wonderful colours. I used the Retra LSD snoot for this shot to isolate the subject from the background. Much trickier then you might think.

Pygmy Seahorse

Pygmy Seahorse

We spent 2 whole dives checking out the beautiful pink fan coral and it's inhabitants (Hippocampus Bargibanti). These guys are tiny (maybe 10mm tall), and superbly camoflagued. But with persistence we counted 12 or 13 on this coral. Amazing

Peacock Mantis Shrimp

Peacock Mantis Shrimp

These Shrimp are amazing and colourful and have the most complex eyes known to man. They are also very timid, be sure it takes lots of patience and a little luck to get a photo like this.

Nudibranch - Chromodoris Annae

Nudibranch - Chromodoris Annae

The most common nudibranch that we encountered in the Philippines, but undoubtedly one of the most photogenic.

Emperor Shrimp

This little guy was running around on this sea cucumber.

Fan Worm on Coral

Fan Worm on Coral

Approach these movement sensitive fans slowly and gently so they don't retract into the coral host. Beautiful shapes and colours.

Transparent Shrimp

Transparent Shrimp

These transparent shrimp are elusive to photograph due to their transparent bodies.

Harlequin Shrimp Feeding

Harlequin Shrimp Feeding

Amazing little Shrimp, they cut an arm off a Starfish and feed on it. Don't worry, the starfish grows it back.

Bubble Anemone

Bubble Anemone

Love the look of these anemones. The semi transparent skins really illuminate nicely.

Ocellaris Clownfish

Ocellaris Clownfish

Beautiful Common Clownfish.

Chromodoris Annae

Chromodoris Annae

A pair of beautiful nudibranch.

Unusual Anemone

Unusual Anemone

A most unusual green and white curly anemone hosting a yellowtail anemone fish.
