I don't expect squat lobsters like this to be in a soft coral, but this one was. With only 2 shots left on my film, I saw a yellow claw clearly sticking out of the soft coral. Try as I might, I couldn't get a good clear shot of the lobster but I did come back on the next dive with more film and a few other photographers. The elegant squat lobster was still there in the same coral. I looked again later, but he had moved on.
