One of my favorite formations, an overhang.  This one is about seven feet, 2m, out there, suspended.  There are usually lots of fish hanging out in the shade. 
.
Once I noticed this habit of their's, staying under things, and I turned my face upward and held still for a moment.  You can easily feel the heat of sunshine on your face!   I was amazed.  Although the deeper you go, the more sunlight, and heat, are absorbed by the water.

 A Black Durgon.  They are shy for me, and difficult to photograph closely.  They have marvelous patterns of colors that can be seen only close-up.  They swim by waving the two fins that run along their back and belly.  They steer with their tail and pectoral, side, fins.

 A Stoplight Parrotfish.  They swim by sculling their pectoral fins, and steer with their tails.
.

 More pretty scenery. I love the sunlight dancing on the sand.  The Sea must be very calm for this to be.

 Someone named this coral Mountainous Star coral.
.

 And this is called Yellow Pencil Coral, but this is my old camera's photo that is too blue.

 A magnificent Barrel Sponge, towering over the neighborhood.  The little fish is a Sargeant Major.  First fish name I ever learned.  They swim by just swimming like a fish.  (??)

Funny, yesterday I googled images for a Shamefaced Box Crab, and it's the first time Google has let me down.  Only someone feeding their eel in an aquarium.  No box crabs!  I'm on a hunt now!

OK, have a great day, and I'm going right now to the Post Office to find out if my stinking camera has come back from Mr. Fixit yet!!

Thanks for stopping by!
