20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Terms of Endearment- sea angels
This is two larval like Sea Angels mating, Hydromyles globulosa, Mating. I photographed an entire series of this tiny creature about the size of a grain of rice each. I've never seen two together and was tickled when I got this up on the computer to see them showing such love for one another. I think its important for us to realize that even these funky little creatures have feeling-no matter how small a creature it is! Photographed on a black water dive in the Philippines.
