Not the best picture quality, but the subject matter was too cute to pass up.

This Malaysian Trumpet Snail crawled up and over an Anubias leaf to where a cherry shrimp was feeding.  It extended out of its shell towards the shrimp and the shrimp literally did a double-take and backpedalled a few steps.  It was super cute and I was lucky to capture the moment Enjoy!

Is this one of your underwater photos with the new camera?
