More from the Great Barrier Reef

When we first saw this guy, it just looked like a big fish. Then for the longest time, I thought this was some sort of angel fish. According to wikipedia, I'm not the only one...

Canon SD870 IS - big batfish (a.k.a. a spadefish - but batfish just sounds better :)

Jed also showed us Christmas tree worms, which disappear into their holes as soon as you wave or snap in front of them.

Canon SD870 IS - The novelty of waving them back into their holes never wore off

One of the coolest things we saw on our trip was this guy.

Canon SD870 IS - You can see in this picture Jed about to flick his fingers to try to get the cuttlefish to change colours...

Canon SD870 IS - ...and change colours it does!

We didn't see too many starfish at the Great Barrier Reef, but here's a small skinny one that we saw latched onto some corals.

Don't really know anything about this little guy, but it caught my eye enough for me to snap a picture of it. I'm actually a bit surprised how well the image turned out. A lot of the images that I took of small things are all super blurry.

Canon SD870 IS - I think this is a great candidate to attempt colour correction... 

And a picture of the reef to finish this off..

Canon IXUS 130 - So... grassy!
