So nice to be back diving in the Maldives! This time we are focusing on the shallows, and the Powder Blue Tang is one of the most common fishes here. It's found throughout the central and western Indian Ocean, and is just spectacular! #ichthyology

During this trip we are also having a series of meetings with our partners @MMRI_Maldives and other government groups. We identified several avenues for collaboration and effectively helping coral reefs! Great to see that everyone has #HopeForReefs!

I am currently in the Maldives with the @calacademy #HopeForReefs team. Yesterday was a big day for me—my first scuba dive in decades. So great to be hanging out with experts like @CoralReefFish and seeing magnificent creatures like this one.

The beautiful Maldivian endemic Ecsenius minutus lives in very shallow water. They vary from light to dark color, and the light ones are especially pretty because their stunning eyes stand out even more! #ichthyology

One of my favorite examples of commensalism. This tiny shrimp, Zenopontonia soror, lives on cushion stars (Culcita schmideliana). We saw this one today in the Maldives. The background colors and patterns of the starfish are remarkable, no?
