​Christmas tree worm (Spirobranchus giganteus)

Lives in (calcareous) tubes embedded in living corals.

Tricky to photograph because as soon you line up your shot they sense your presence and disappear into their hole, really frustrating, but that's half the fun!

​Chestnut blenny (Cirripectes castaneus) 
They are very shy and rapidly retreat to shelter when approached, making them very tricky to photograph, but with a bit of patience and perseverance.
The colours are variable from very dark brown to very pale. 
We see them frequently on the reef fringes around Sharm, depth from 0.3 to 7m.
They feed mainly on algae.
 — in Sharm el-Sheikh.

Boxer Shrimp, (Stenopus hispidus)
It is a cleaner shrimp and advertises itself by slowly waving it's long white antennae at passing fish, using its three pairs of claws to remove parasites fungi and damaged flesh. 
I took this on at Sharks bay, with my Olympus TG-5 using the built in flash, not an easy subject, but very happy with the result.😁😎

​Savigny's brittle star being watched by a sea pen porcelain crab.
Taken on a night dive on El Fanar, one of the best sites in Sharm el Sheikh for night dives accessible from the shore.
If you get the opportunity to do a night dive you won't be disappointed you get to see a lot of creatures that sleep during the day, AMAZING!!
Taken with my Olympus TG-5
