SettingsA secretary blenny keeps an eye out for lunch from its home in a pink sponge. I found this tiny blenny on the bow of the Prince Albert shipwreck in Roatan, Honduras. The pink sponges made an interesting, brightly-colored frame and I was excited to photograph this scene. I floated down low enough to frame the blenny on the same plane as the sponge, using a shallower aperture to isolate it within the sponge without completely blurring the background, and timed the shot for the millisecond when the blenny occasionally looked skyward.
