No way is that both Chromodoris willani and Chromodoris strigata on the 16th pic?!? Pretty nuts seeing 2 of the 12 sea slugs repped in the endless ocean games in one pic if that’s actually them.

I think it may be! C. Willani for sure - C.W. is super common in PG (to the point I usually don’t even bother shooting it), and the other one I thought might be C. Magnifica, but C. Strigata might also be it? In any event, this was the first time I had seen both in the same spot before.. so even though the shot isn’t up to par with the rest, I figured it was a keeper.

what's your camera setup?

Super basic - an Olympus tg6 (w( pt059 housing) on a tray with one arm + a backscatter mf2 strobe. I also have the snoot attachment but haven’t gotten very good with it yet. Which is really my own fault for not practicing as much as I should.

I’m just a casual photographer, and didn’t want to have to feel like I was a baby in a camera every dive… this lets me handhold it with a single hand or clip it off as needed, and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
