The Doc Poulson wreck, with garden eels in the foreground.
Probably some type of parrotfish. I can't find it in my book but I'll keep looking. We saw quite a few of them. They'e very colorful and I love the pattern around the bright yellow eyes.
School of blue tangs
Garden eels in the sand.
Diamond blenny. Easy to photograph because they don't move---but often hard to spot because they blend in well.
Closep of garden eels. They hide in their holes when someone comes nearby.
Obligatory photo of a turtle. This one was very tame and didn't care that I was just a few feet away.
Pederson cleaner shrimp.
Lobster under an outcropping.
Banded coral shrimp on a sponge.

I liked the abstract pattern in this closeup of a sponge, with my strobe lighting it from the left.
Probably some type of small sea bass but I can't quite identify the species.
