Night Stalker
Photograph by Tim Laman
Caught in a surprise flash of light, this strange relative of the squat lobster (genus chirostylus) forages at night among the branches of a soft coral. It's one of many reef creatures that hide from predators during the day and emerge only at night to feed—a visual treat for night divers, whose own potential predators may lurk just out of sight.
