Cuthona lagunae from Monterey, CA

February 10, 2006
From: Clinton Bauder

Hi Bill,

Dive buddy Kawika has a new macro lens. Prior to our dive Sat night he instructed me to look for small things to take pictures of; "The smaller the better". In a case of "be careful what you wish for" I found these 5mm long Cuthona lagunae on a patch of hydroids growing on some red algae.

Locality: Tanker Reef, Monterey, California, USA, Pacific coast. 14 meters,  4 February 2006, Shale reef.. Length: 5 mm. Photographer: Kawika Chetron

Dear Clinton,
I think someone made the joke earlier about 'point and shoot' photography. You pointing and Kawika shooting proved a very successful way to test the lens
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
