8 Close-up of a mat of Sargeant Major eggs hoping to hatch before they get eaten by predators
9 A wire coral goby, on what else but a stalk of wire or whip coral. Lit from behind it looks almost completely transparent. These guys are tiny, probably 1/2 - 3/4 inch long at the most.
10 What's better than one wire coral goby? Of course it's two goby's! This shot I lit more from the front so while they are mostly transparent, you can see the identifying stripes better.
11 Hypselodoris Imperialis, commonly known as the Imperial Nudibranch, are often seen like this in pairs trailing each other head-to-tail. No one is sure why they exhibit this behavior, maybe they like playing centipede?

18 Not a nudi, but a fire or bristle worm
19 Arc-eyed Hawkfish guarding it's spot on the head of coral
20 Phyllidiella Pustulosa is fairly common, but this is the first decent photo that I've captured. Their bright pink / fuscia color is hard to miss.
