Spotted cleaner shrimp - a photo on Flickriver

            In a giant anemone. Relatively common, but tricky to photograph because they sway in the surge and there tends to be a lot of sand floating around (which causes spots and backscatter). And since they are small, it really helps to line up the focal plane with the shrimp's body, otherwise the eyes can be in focus but the claws aren't. Easier said than done with the water pushing you back and forth.
