Fire Urchins are possibly my favourite thing to find underwater, shooting both video and still photographs, it’s pretty hard for me to get bored of them.
These shots are from a recent trip aboard the Dive Damai Liveaboard that I led visiting Cannibal Rock in Komodo National Park, and Bima Bay in neighbouring Sumbawa.
The combination of the colours on display makes a great backdrop for photos, and to top it off, this was the first time i have seen the Zebra Crabs (Zebrida adamsii) with eggs!
In the same area we also found Coleman Shrimp (Periclimenes colemani) on the Urchins and the small commensal Squat Lobster which make their home on these colourful urchins.
