Tridacna: exit siphon and mantle, Schoolhouse, North Save-a-Tack Passage, Namena Island.

I don't comb the bottom for tridacnas any more, but I still like it when I find a really iridescent one.  The 200 let me shoot across him without letting my shadow fall on his light sensors, so he stayed open.

Nikon F4, 200 mm f/4 Auto Micro Nikkor,  Aquatica Housing, 2 Ikelite 200 strobes, f/16, Kodak Royal Gold 100.
